When a good girl gone bad

Run go meet her dad?
You don wanna do
Well this is Sauti Sol
Patoranking, world best yo
Watch this love confession
She's a heart breaker
She bend over bad breaker
Steaming hot water vapor
I wanna date her
She's a heart breaker
She bend over bad breaker
Steaming hot water vapor
I wanna date her
So tell me why you do me so
So tell me why you do me so
Baby me will never let you go
Girl me nah go let you go
So tell me why you do me so
Tell me why you do me so
Girl me never let you go
Swear me nah go let you go

Call you me honey but you threw me pon trash
Or you think say me gon leave you like that
(No way), why you do me like that yay?
Girl I’m waiting on you

But me never send dem whoa
In my life I never seen melanin so dark
You are a queen of the dance floor
Night socialite kwa Nairobi scene baby
Would you put me in your diary
In my life I never seen melanin so dark
You are a queen on the dance floor
Night socialite kwa Nairobi scene baby
Would you put me in your diary
She's a heart breaker
She bend over her bad breaker
Steaming hot water vapor
I wanna date her
She's a heart breaker
She bend over her bad breaker
Steaming hot water vapor
I wanna date her
So tell me why you do me so
So tell me why you do me so
Baby me will never let you go
Girl me nah go let you go
So tell me why you do me so
Tell me why you do me so
Girl me never let you go
Swear me nah go let you go
I think I saw you in a magazine
Or maybe on TV

You're a queen
And if you know me well
You'll know I don’t kiss and tell
But I want you to myself baby
In my life yo, mi never seen melanin so dark
You're the queen of the dance floor
Night socialite pon the Lagos scene baby
