I've learned to lose you, can't afford to Tore my shirt to stop you bleedin' But nothin' ever stops you leavin' Quiet when I'm coming home and I'm on my own You never got to meet Papa (I could lie, say I like it like that) He sweet proper, he keep mama (like it like that) On my toes, I needed help (I could lie, say I like it like that) You booked a flight in three days (like it like that) You'd meet Papa (mh) The waiting, the gazing The painting, the raging The raving, the pacing The praying, the shaking I must admit I was breaking I must admit I was taking I must admit my heart was racing Telephone ring, didn't make it (he didn't make it) I just believed you'd awaken A memory in the makin' Call me Won't you call me? (Call) No, you gone Are you gone already? (Don't you know too much already?) I'll only hurt you if you let me Call me friend, but keep me closer (call me back) And I'll call you when the party's over Quiet when I'm coming home and I'm on my own So deal, 'Nika, yes, real, 'Nika (I could lie, say I like it like that) Don't stress, Onika, so blessed, Onika (like it like that) Today it's 12/3/23 (I could lie, say I like it like that) Your baby's three, he's the best, Onika (like it like that) Set me, set me, set me free (set me free) Why didn't you come back to get me?
