Beat Won't Let Us Leave 5 lyrics
Verse
Neighbour dey knock, we no hear am
Amala steam rising past the rim of my glass
Your gele loose but your smile still tight
Two left feet moving like a perfectly choreographed dance
Bass in my chest where the hunger used to be
You laugh and I laugh, no drama, just us three
Pre-Chorus
Tell me what the clock say we should stop now
Tell me why this night dey feel like forever somehow
Something sweet in your eyes, something real
If na yesterday's promise, then make it feel real
Chorus
Beat won't let us leave, we no wan go home
Sunrise catching our shadows on the floor
Beat won't let us leave, keep me here till light breaks through
Baby, I dey hold you tight like there be nothing to prove
Verse 2
Generator humming but my heart still loud
Candle wax drips slow on the record cover now
Your hand find mine by the kitchen windowpane
Street dey empty but we no wan change lanes
Every little noise outside sound like a melody
Wahala for tomorrow, tonight na only me and thee
Pre-Chorus
Tell me what the clock say we should stop now
Tell me why this night dey feel like forever somehow
Something sweet in your eyes, something real
If na yesterday's promise, then make it feel real
Chorus
Beat won't let us leave, we no wan go home
Sunrise catching our shadows on the floor
Beat won't let us leave, keep me here till light breaks through
Baby, I dey hold you tight like there be nothing to prove
Bridge
Maybe tomorrow I for fear this kind love
But right now am all that my chest can give
No perfect plan na why we still dey dance
Just the way your waist dey fit with mine, make sense
I no know what morning go bring my heart
Na tonight e be the only thing I want
Chorus
Beat won't let us leave, we no wan go home
Sunrise catching our shadows on the floor
Beat won't let us leave, keep me here till light breaks through
Baby, I dey hold you tight like there be nothing to prove
