Baby (Is it a Crime) Lyrics

[Intro: Sade Adu]
Is it a crime?
Is it a crime?
That I still want you
And I want you to want me too?

[Chorus: Rema]
Baby (Rema), baby sun mọ́ mí
You know say you match my steeze
You know I'm a G
Shawty, I'ma always keep it real
I no dey for too much whining, dey for too much whining
As e dey be (Oh)
As the shayo dey enter, oya, make we kolobi
Oya, show yourself, do over-sabi
Love is in the air, baby, breathe in

[Verse 1: Rema]
I dey available
Baby, anytime you need me, I dey available
Compatible, two of us dey compatible
Girl, I be bad boy, forget say I dey mellow
Ah, baby, I dey fold, baby, take it slow
Baby, go down low, nobody gats to know
Oya, I know I play around, but me no fit to let you go
Oh

[Chorus: Rema & Sade Adu]
(Is it a crime?) Baby, baby sun mọ́ mí
You know say you match my steeze
You know I'm a G
Shawty, I'ma always keep it real
I no dey for too much whining
Dey for too much whining (That I still want you?)
As e dey be (Oh)
As the shayo dey enter, oya, make we kolobi
Oya, show yourself, do over-sabi (Oh)
Love is in the air, baby, breathe in

[Verse 2: Rema]
The way you move this your body na weapon, ah-ahn
Catch me off guard, me I hands up kparam
Beautiful with personality, jara
Make I enter your life, make everything dey balanced, huh
As I get opportunity, why I no go mount am?
IG algorithm no fit comot my hand for your matter
I dey see girls wey bad, but you badder

[Verse 3: Rema]
Omoge, your waist put me for bail up, oshe bebe nlo
Ajé, this your demeanor, baby, na major
Your case dey above the law (Above the law)
After you, na you, before nko?
Oh, baby, show off, get other gyals jealous
Buy you a Birkin matching my AP color
Treat you like omo-mo
Pampering on a hunnid
Baby, you the one for me, oh

[Outro]
