Lyrics

[Intro: Selector]
Oo-oo-ooo
Toronto, Paris, London & Kingston
Wi deya, yuh done know seh wi haffi sing song
Easily, suh gyal dem please heartical!
Hold it, hol' it, hol' it, hol' it!
Baby girl, wah gwan with yuh cocoa skin
Come let me put it in, on ya!
Wan di man...wah Lord!
Daniel Caesar, to di world!

[Verse 1: Daniel Caesar]
I love dominantly
You make me weak, make me thirsty for release
Wan' come complement me
Then become my enemy
Cop a flight to Paris, low key
It's you, baby girl, I'm tryna breed, please
Baby, try understand me
I'm not a monster, I'm just a man with needs
I take flights when I learn it's time to go
Tryna take time back crossing timing zones
Come press your lips 'pon me
LSD got me feelin' empathy
Wan' fi alter mind chemically
'Cause we suffer endlessly
Could be Kamikaze, only time will tell
Even though I'm godly, might end up in Hell
[Chorus: Daniel Caesar]
Sweet melody, wine up yuh body 'pon me
Yuh lovin' baby girl, you know mi need it, need it
Let me fight for it, mi achieve it, 'chieve it
Sweet melody, wine up yuh body 'pon me
Yuh lovin' baby girl, you know mi need it, need it
Let me fight for it, mi achieve it, 'chieve it

[Post-Chorus: Daniel Caesar]
Feel my love drip over your skin
Rich dark chocolate, sweet melanin
Forevermore you gon' be my kin
Whatever Jah has binded, let no man enter in

[Interlude]
Take yuh sights crossing time zones
Wi ah givin' you the most high zone
Oh-kay!
Aye!
Mi wan see some han' up inna di air enuh
And some lighter too
Light it, torch it, scorch it!

[Verse 2: Koffee]
Dis meditation
Have me goin' up inna elation
You di baddest ting in Jah creation, aye
But yuh loving good like education
Run come see, yeah
Pull up to me, punchy, yeah
Di loving weh you have, you know mi need it, boi
Lemme fight for it, me achieve it, aye
Sweet melody, deh pon mi frequency
Di loving weh you have, you know mi need it, boi
Lemme fight for it, mi achieve
I'll ease yuh pain like Voltaren
Lay yuh head pon mi shoulder den
Feel like yuh my rock so mi hold yuh down like di boulder dem
Know a summer now but mi keep yuh warm when it cold again
Love you 'til we old and den we live and we grow old again
[Chorus: Daniel Caesar]
Sweet melody, wine up yuh body 'pon me
Yuh lovin' baby girl, you know mi need it, need it
Let me fight for it, mi achieve it, 'chieve it
Sweet melody, wine up yuh body 'pon me
Yuh lovin' baby girl, you know mi need it, need it
Let me fight for it, mi achieve it, 'chieve it

[Post-Chorus: Daniel Caesar]
Feel my love drip over your skin
Rich dark chocolate, sweet melanin
Forevermore you gon' be my kin
Whatever Jah has binded, let no man enter in
