The full lyrics to Fireboy DML‘s “Need You” have been published. The track focuses on love, vulnerability, and emotional reliance.
The speaker says he has no material wealth to offer, but insists his love is what matters. He asks his partner to disregard outside rumors and to accept the connection while there is still time.
Song Summary
In the first verse, Fireboy DML compares his partner’s sweetness to mango and agbalumo, says only she can heal him, and notes that he has no Benz or Bentley, only love.
The pre-chorus and refrain include the lines “Baby shon gbo, pe mi l’oruko, fa mi n’irugbon, nko ton so, koma ni itumo,” followed by “Don’t listen to them, you don’t need rumours.”
The chorus repeats “Oh my lover” and describes losing control when the partner calls, wanting to love like never before.
The second verse compares missing the partner to an idiot missing the point, and needing the partner like eko needs moi moi. It also describes the two as two sides of a coin and says the partner is the only one who can be there.
The bridge repeats “Love me while you can, ’cause time no dey, time no dey,” and says it is only once in life.
