lyrics
I never worry
When I don’t get my way
Today may be for you
Tomorrow will be my day
You don’t hear me holla
You don’t hear me talk
You think say na only you get mouth to talk
Because me I no dey talk
You think say I know dey see
Me I dey see-o
ANY WAY IS A WAY
ANY WAY IS A WAY (2x)
People talk people say
We don’t mind what dem say
Come and see what we do (2x)
ANY WAY IS A WAY – IS A WAY
Make you no do bad-i-o, I beg-i-o (2x)
When you come do bad-i-o
When you spoil everything finish
You dey run
You forget say we go meet again (2x)
When you do bad to me
I go do good to you
You forget say we go meet again (2x)
Make you dey hear-o
ANY WAY IS A WAY
ANY WAY IS A WAY (2x)
People talk people say
We don’t mind what dem say
Come and see what we do (2x)
ANY WAY IS A WAY – IS A WAY
When I don’t get my way
Today may be for you
Tomorrow will be my day
You don’t hear me holla
You don’t hear me talk
You think say na only you get mouth to talk
Because me I no dey talk
You think say I know dey see
Me I dey see-o
ANY WAY IS A WAY
ANY WAY IS A WAY (2x)
People talk people say
We don’t mind what dem say
Come and see what we do (2x)
ANY WAY IS A WAY – IS A WAY
Make you no do bad-i-o, I beg-i-o (2x)
When you come do bad-i-o
When you spoil everything finish
You dey run
You forget say we go meet again (2x)
When you do bad to me
I go do good to you
You forget say we go meet again (2x)
Make you dey hear-o
ANY WAY IS A WAY
ANY WAY IS A WAY (2x)
People talk people say
We don’t mind what dem say
Come and see what we do (2x)
ANY WAY IS A WAY – IS A WAY
