Wizkid – Piece of My Heart (feat. Brent Faiyaz) Lyrics
[Part I: Piece of My Heart] [Intro: Brent Faiyaz]
Babygirl, you know I love you though?
You could tell my secrets, but I love you though
I could take you anywhere you wanna go
Tell me where you wanna go
Nothing can tear us apart
You’ve got a piece of my heart
Nothing can tear us apart (Nothing in this world)
You’ve got a piece of my heart (That belongs to you girl)
No, I can’t let you have too much (Then I won’t have enough, ooh no)
No, I can’t let you have too much, then I won’t have enough (Oh)
No, I can’t let you have too much (Then I won’t have enough)
No, I can’t let you have too much, then I won’t have enough
CC ‘pon your body, but you can’t see me
When you want, that’s too much
Pop that body for me, that’s my kind of healing
Sexual, give me all of ya
So, make you fall into my wingspan
So, make I take you higher for the moment
You know if anybody can, baby we can
And e go feel like the right season
Mm, give me one taste, and you don dey do the things wey make a man craze
Nobody ever do it better than this
Drunk on your loving fit to make a man chase
And if I ever hurt you, I mean well, what I gotta do to make you know it’s all real?
If I could, I would keep you to myself, they not fit separate the feelings wey we dey feel
Nothing can tear us apart (It’s not that easy)
You’ve got a piece of my heart (You know you need me)
Nothing can tear us apart (Nothing in this world)
You’ve got a piece of my heart (That belongs to you girl)
No, I can’t let you have too much (Then I won’t have enough, ooh no)
No, I can’t let you have too much, then I won’t have enough (Oh)
No, I can’t let you have too much (Then I won’t have enough)
No, I can’t let you have too much, Then I won’t have enough
For your body, I go give you nonstop
Omo temi to’n so, oh, my baby one touch
See this loving, omo, girl no switch up
I go give you reasons, baby, kick your feet up (Mm)
We no dey mind them, baby, give me one dance, yeah (Uh)
I go control, baby, give me through pass
Mm, when we dey apart, oh girl, I need that lovin’
Mm, feels so good, feels like soul food
She don’t know, what it cost to live this life
Your price ain’t low, that’s why I write best on these flights
Girl, I done flown too many times (Too many times)
You say you want me there this time, not this time
[Refrain: Brent Faiyaz]Sometimes, I might be a bad version of me (Oh, oh)
Sometimes (Hold me), sometimes (Oh, hold me)
Sometimes, I might be a bad version of me (Ooh)
Sometimes (Hold me), sometimes (Oh, hold me)
Stressful, I know
Every other day, another timezone
Shey, it’s not easy to let go?
She don’t want no late night solo
What I need, what she wants
Hard to find a middle ground
All I need, that someone
When I got love to store it down for me
Remember the last time that we linked it was intimate
Take it up, pick it up, let’s get into it
Give it up, give it up, you know you’re missing this sometimes
Sometimes, I might be a bad version of me (Oh, oh)
Sometimes (Hold me), sometimes (Oh, hold me)
Sometimes, I might be a bad version of me (Ooh)
Sometimes (Hold me), sometimes (Oh, hold me)
