Oh No
Unveiling the Labor of Love: Jessy Lanza's 'Oh No'
Lyrics
I'm a worker baby, not telling lies
I am diligent and hardworking, not deceitful
Heard you're holding on, got something in my eyes
Heard you're struggling, and it brings tears to my eyes
Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no
Expression of dismay or concern
Never call me lazy, 'cause I'm on time
Don't label me as lazy because I am punctual
Helps to turn me on when you cover up your prize
Your modesty or concealment of your worth is enticing to me
Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no
Reiteration of dismay or concern
I need fire, baby, I need light
I crave passion and illumination
Always make it home but you hustle every night
You consistently return home, but you engage in hustle every night
Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no
Expression of dismay or concern
Supposed to stay up late, supposed to say my name
Expected to stay awake, expected to acknowledge my presence
You wanted out since the moment that I came
You desired an exit from the moment I entered
Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no
Reiteration of dismay or concern
Haven't called me lately, and I don't fight
You haven't contacted me recently, and I'm not inclined to argue
'Cause I'm not crazy, baby, I know when it isn't right
I'm not irrational; I can discern when things are not right
Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no
Expression of dismay or concern
I'm a worker baby, not telling lies
I am diligent and hardworking, not deceitful
Heard you're holding on, got something in my eyes
Heard you're struggling, and it brings tears to my eyes
Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no
Reiteration of dismay or concern
Oh no (I'm a worker, baby), oh no (I'm a worker, baby)
Repetition of the chorus expressing dismay or concern
Oh no (I'm a worker, baby), oh no (I'm a worker, baby)
-Oh no (I'm a worker, baby), oh no (I'm a worker, baby)
-Oh no (I'm a worker, baby), oh no (I'm a worker, baby)
-Oh no (I'm a worker, baby), oh no (I'm a worker, baby)
-Oh no (I'm a worker, baby), oh no (I'm a worker, baby)
-Oh no (I'm a worker, baby), oh no (I'm a worker, baby)
-Oh no (I'm a worker, baby), oh no (I'm a worker, baby)
-Oh no
Expression of dismay or concern
