ntro:

And at the end of the day

I want you to say well done

I want you to bid me come

Want you to smile, to smile at me

So that after i?ve run this race

Oh let me see, to see your face

 

Verse 1:

Ijoba orun, l?ere onigbagbo o (2x)

Ma je n ku?na baba

Mu mi de?le o

Owo ti mo ni

Moto ti mo ri ra

Ko le wa mi r?ele o?

Mu mi de, de?le o

Mu mi de?le o (4x)

Mu mi de?le o (4x)

And at the end of the day

I want you to say well done

Ijo-ba orun, l?ere onigbagbo o

Ma je n ku?na.
