Lyrics
En dey pain me, en dey pain me, say
Expresses emotional pain caused by something
Now your love en dey harm me, yeah
Feeling harmed by the love received
And the way you dey do me, do me
Describing the way the person is treated
Girl the way you dey whyne your waist
Commenting on how the girl moves her waist
En dey make me dey run a race
Implying the effect of her actions on the speaker
Baby, why oh, why oh
Questioning the reasons for her actions
Oh my baby, oh my baby
Expressing endearment to the girl
No nobody, no nobody
Asserting exclusivity in affection
Nobody can love you like I do now
Claiming unparalleled love for the girl
Oh my sherry, oh my sherry
Expressing affection and endearment
No nobody, no nobody
Asserting exclusive love for the girl
Nobody can love you like I do now
Reiterating unmatched affection for her
Oya dukele, dukele
Encouraging the girl to dance
Oya dukele, dukele
Encouraging more dancing
Oya dukele, dukele
Encouraging continued dancing
Carry me go, carry me go
Asking to be taken along
Do anything you want to
Giving the girl permission to do as she pleases
Na me dey cause my problem
Attributing personal problems to oneself
Cause na me dey fall for your love
Stating the cause of falling in love
After the thing you do me
Reflecting on past actions of the girl
Everybody warn me, warn me
Noting warnings from others
Oh my baby, oh my baby
Expressing endearment to the girl
No nobody, no nobody
Asserting exclusivity in affection
Nobody can love you like I do now
Claiming unparalleled love for the girl
Oh my sherry, Oh my sherry
Expressing affection and endearment
No nobody, no nobody
Asserting exclusive love for the girl
Nobody can love you like I do now
Reiterating unmatched affection for her
Oya dukele, dukele
Encouraging the girl to dance
Oya dukele, dukele
Encouraging more dancing
Oya dukele, dukele
Encouraging continued dancing
My mother say, make I no dey near you,near you
Referring to parental advice against closeness to the girl
But I no dey hear word, hear word
Disregarding advice received
My father say, make I leave you, leave you
Referring to parental advice to leave the girl
But en no dey gree me, gree me
Not accepting the advice to leave
Cause me I love you, love you
Stating personal affection for the girl
Oh my baby, oh my baby
Expressing endearment to the girl
No nobody, no nobody
Asserting exclusivity in affection
Nobody can love you like I do now
Claiming unparalleled love for the girl
Oh my sherry,oh my sherry
Expressing affection and endearment
No nobody, no nobody
Asserting exclusive love for the girl
Nobody can love you like I do now
Reiterating unmatched affection for her
Oya dukele, dukele
Encouraging the girl to dance
Oya dukele, dukele
Encouraging more dancing
Oya dukele, dukele
Encouraging continued dancing
