Ooh Davido, oh my brudda

Oh Dadju, Dadju, masta
Faut demander pardon hey-hey (Pardon hey-hey)
Ma chérie, dis pas non, dis pas non-non-non
Tout ce que tu fais ça me rend con-con-con

Oh you my baby you my diamond

[Verse 3: Dadju]

Laisse moi te donner l'amour comme Zidane donne les ballons
Comme Zidane donne les ballons, ballons d'or
Bissé, diamond (Diamond, yeah yeah)
En Tshiluba, Lingala, Congolais c'est le vrai love
Faut le vivre une fois if you don't know
She's looking for a lover, lover boy
Ma faiblesse, j'lui donne tout quand elle m'appelle papa na ngai
Lover, lover boy
Irresistible, madame connaît son boulot
She's looking for a lover, lover boy
Ooh, on dit jamais non quand c'est mama'a bana
Lover, lover boy
Dis le plus fort, c'est pas roi qui est là ?

[Chorus: Davido]
Back then I be baddest boy
I got so many girls in my area
Now you don hold me for work, I be lover boy
Don hold me for work
I be lover boy (Lover, lover boy)
Back then I be baddest boy
I got so many girls in my area
Now you don hold me for work, I be lover boy
Don hold me for work
I be lover boy (Lover, lover boy)

[Outro: Davido & Dadju]
Lover, lover boy
Lover, lover boy
Lover, lover boy
Lover, lover boy (Mm, oh, ah)
