Sometimes I feel like a failure
Sometimes I feel like I let me down
Swear that I need a saviour
Someone to love me
And hold me down
Hold me down
Hold me down
Hold me down
Not really what I thought it would be when I signed up
The loneliness that comes with the finer things when you find 'em
Finally, in the fantasy, falling in love with flying
And formulating my feelings for fanatics who make fun of
Every battle I fought to become the king of the fauna
Funny how they forget you for never getting your funds up
Calling you father now when you rise, you bring your sons up
But if shit goes south, boys always gonna be Bafana
For the sake of desire they fornicate with the fire
And cry you a river as they ignore your lake 'til it dries up
Never changing my ways, a dragon slayer will slay
But who am I gonna follow? I'm always paving my way
Reading my own signs, a lonely game of charades
Seeds that I sowed are mine and you only came for the grain
Seeing the gold I mined, it's turning me to a slave
Freeing this soul of mine a lonely angel astray
Sometimes I feel like a failure (sometimes I feel)
Sometimes I feel like I let me down (feel like I let me down)
Swear that I need a saviour (saviour, saviour) ooh, oh-oh
Someone to love me (someone to love me)
And hold me down
Hold me down
Hold me down
Hold me down, mmm
Everybody want piece of me, wey dem no want peace for me
Lonely for the top, hand out dem go reach for me
They never speak for me
Even when I pay dues they still want a peace offering
They repeat often
Call when they need something
See if you chasing paper then you gas keep running
Me, I speed off and
Skirt, skirt, bad belle
The tire keep turnin'
The tire keep turnin'
The tire keep burning
Na, why I need you?
I dey float when I dey with you
I am David, if you get an issue
Assurance, wey I get to give you
Buhari, no go ever leave you
Mandela, but I never free you
If I be woman, I go wan be you
Did I tell you, baby, that I need you?
Did I tell you, baby, that I need you?
Sometimes I feel like a failure (sometimes I feel like a failure)
Sometimes I feel like I let me down (like I let me down)
Swear that I need a saviour (swear that I need a saviour)
Someone to love me
And hold me down
Hold me down
Hold me down, yeah
Hold me down
Hold me down
Hold me down
Hold me down
Hold me down, down
Someone to love me
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, ooh
I need someone to hold me down
