Verse 1

First time I saw you

Girl my heart no fit settle down

Your smile dey scatter my senses

Like Lagos traffic on a Friday noon

You no wear plenty gold

Still you shine pass everybody

When you talk I dey listen

Every word na melody

If the whole world gather

Nobody fit stand where you stand

If beauty get a name

Na your name dem go call

Mo dúpẹ́ fún ẹ

Verse 2

Oyin tell your mama say I hail am

Tell your papa say I respect am

Because the way dem raise you

Na blessing dem deliver

Your mama carry gold nine months

Your papa hold a jewel

If I see dem I go bow

Na dem bring my happiness

No be only face I see

Na the good heart wey dey shine

You fit wear simple cloth

Still na you finest for the room

Girl you deserve flowers everyday

Sweet words soft love in a thousand ways

I no promise wetin I no fit do

But I go show you say my love is true

Bridge

If you look inside the mirror

I hope you see the way I see

Not just the face not just the colour

But a heart wey dey shine like no other

You no need to change for anybody

You already carry your own beauty

And if tomorrow the whole world go quiet

I go still sing your name like a choir

Oyin mi má ṣàníyàn

Omo mi o ṣe pàtàkì

In my heart you get your own seat
