Quotable Lyrics:
Wosa wosa na hwana ne ba
Beginning to think I donβt need another lover
Found you today I donβt wanna go back
I donβt want to be with a cassanova
Yes I yes I will never ever
Forgive if you do the least I will find another
Why dβyou want to leave when u know its you you ou ou
But there is something about you I need
Baby I wake up with you in my dreams
I for dey sing you some alicia keys
Please
