  • What you doing, Papa?
    Hi, no, uh-uh
    Say, "Hi" (hi)

    Don't you know I'm no good for you?
    I've learned to lose you, can't afford to
    Tore my shirt to stop you bleedin'
    But nothin' ever stops you leavin'
    Quiet when I'm coming home and I'm on my own

    You never got to meet Papa
    He sweet proper, he keep mama
    On my toes, I needed help
    You booked a flight in three days
    You'd meet Papa (mh)

    The waiting, the gazing
    The painting, the raging
    The raving, the pacing
    The praying, the shaking
    I must admit, I was breaking
    I must admit, I was taking
    I must admit, my heart was racing
    Telephone ring, he didn't make it (he didn't make it)
    I just believed you'd awaken
    A memory in the makin'
    Call me, won't you call me? (Call)
    No, you gone

    Are you gone already? (Don't you know too much already?)
    I'll only hurt you if you let me
    Call me friend, but keep me closer (call me back)
    And I'll call you when the party's over
    Quiet when I'm coming home and I'm on my own

    So dear, Onika, yes, real, 'Nika
    Don't stress, Onika, so blessed, Onika
    Today it's 12/3/23
    Your baby's three, he's the best, Onika

    Set me, set me, set me free (set me free)
    Why didn't you come back to get me? (To get me)
    Let me, let me, let me be (let me be)
    Why would anyone want to love me? (To love me)
    Rich, yes, but are you happy? (Rich, yes, but are you happy?)
    All this guilt you carry is heavy (all of this guilt is heavy)
    You've already made your peace with me
    One day you'll have to forgive, mommy
    But she knows you know too much already (don't you know too much already?)

    I'll only hurt you if you let me
    Call me friend, but keep me closer (call me back)
    And I'll call you when the party's over
    Quiet when I'm coming home and I'm on my own
    I could lie, say I like it like that, like it like that
    I could lie, say I like it like that, like it like that

    Nothin' is better sometimes
    Once we've both said our goodbyes
    Let's just let it go
    Let me let you go

    Quiet when I'm coming home and I'm on my own
    I could lie, say I like it like that, like it like that
    I could lie, say I like it like that, like it like that Writer/s: Finneas O'Connell, Onika Maraj
