[Intro - bouncy guitars and drums]
Ah-ah, ah-ah
Ah-ah, ah-ah, hmm
Ah-ah, ah-ah
Yeah-yeah, hmm
[Verse 1]
I no know wetin to do with my feelings
Make I throw am inside or throw am away?
I dey give you too much of my attention
Morning, night, every single day
Idle mind fit enter trouble
Idle mind fit think bad thing too
So if I dey idle, make you reason am
Wetin you think say I go do to you?
[Hook]
Oh-oh, if I genuinely love, I genuinely hate you
Oh-oh, oh-oh, if I genuinely love, I genuinely hate you
[Verse 2]
Maybe you be my entertainment
My small puppet, make I pull your string
Anytime you think say you understand me
I change the rules and do another thing
If I tell you say I like to stress you
Would you vex or would you stay?
If I push you just a little too far
Would you turn around and walk away?
[Hook]
Oh-oh, if I genuinely love, I genuinely hate you
Oh-oh, oh-oh, if I genuinely love, I genuinely hate you
[Verse 3]
Call my name like say e sacred
Then you twist am just to make me vex
We dey play game wey nobody fit win
But somehow we never wan leave the match
Every word get another meaning
Every silence dey too loud
We be thunder with no warning
Still we gather like a cloud
You dey know exactly how to push me
I dey know exactly how to push you
We dey dance around the fire
But neither one fit say we through
[Hook]
Oh-oh, if I genuinely love, I genuinely hate you
Oh-oh, oh-oh, if I genuinely love, I genuinely hate you
[Bridge - stripped down]
Maybe I no want peace and quiet
Maybe na the spark I dey find
Something crazy, something reckless
Something wey go scatter my mind
[Instrumental Break]
Ah-ah, ah-ah
Ah-ah, ah-ah, hmm
Ah-ah, ah-ah
Yeah-yeah, hmm
[Breakdown]
Yeah, I spin you like record
Round and round, we no dey stop
Truth dey scratch inside the music
But nobody wan press pause
Round and round and round we go
You push me, I push you
Both of us dey talk say “I’m done”
But somehow we come back two-two
[Verse 4]
I fit play nice, then I switch like coin for air
Heads, I dey love you, tails, I no care
Got your heartbeat moving to the way I move
You say I be bad news, but you like the view
Small mind game, I dey deal in extremes
Turn your sweet little daydream to a midnight scene
Press one button, watch you glitch, watch you fold
You be story wey I like, but I no wan hold
I confess, I obsess, then I ghost for a minute
Make you wonder if I’m gone or I still dey in it
Then I slide right back like I never comot
Put my hand on your pulse just to see wetin you got
Yeah, I know wetin I dey do, no need pretend
You dey swear say you hate am, but you still dey return
If love na game, then I bend the rules
You call am crazy
I call am genuine truth
[Hook - Half-time / Heavy]
Oh-oh… if I genuinely love, I genuinely hate you…
Oh-oh… if I genuinely love, I genuinely hate you
[Outro - bouncy guitars and drums]
Ah-ah, ah-ah
Ah-ah, ah-ah, hmm
Ah-ah, ah-ah
I love you, I hate you
Ah-ah, ah-ah
Ah-ah, ah-ah, hmm
I genuinely love you… hate you
