Lyrics

[Chorus]
Mo ni o ta lenu
O por lenu
O dun lenu
Tell me what I cannot do
Tell me what I cannot do
Mo ni o ta lenu
O por lenu
O dun lenu
Tell me what I cannot do
Tell me what I cannot do
[Chorus]
Mo ni o ta lenu
O por lenu
O dun lenu
Tell me what I cannot do
Tell me what I cannot do
Mo ni o ta lenu
O por lenu
O dun lenu
Tell me what I cannot do
Tell me what I cannot do
[Verse 1]
Excuse me, you are not dancing, why?
I want to know why you're doing like you're shy
It's either you dance or you leave
There's no place for pretence
I can't watch you standing, oh no
Mo ni ko jo jo jo
Mo ni ko bere mo le jo
I know you want to know
As we dey do am o
Mo ni ko jo jo jo
Baby no dulling o
I know you want to know
As we dey do am o
[Chorus]
Mo ni o ta lenu
O por lenu
O dun lenu
Tell me what I cannot do
Tell me what I cannot do
Mo ni o ta lenu
O por lenu
O dun lenu
Tell me what I cannot do
Tell me what I cannot do
[Chorus]
Mo ni o ta lenu
O por lenu
O dun lenu
Tell me what I cannot do
Tell me what I cannot do
Mo ni o ta lenu
O por lenu
O dun lenu
Tell me what I cannot do
Tell me what I cannot do
[Verse 2]
Say, tell me what I cannot do
Pull up in a drop because I'm not you (Skrrr skrrr)
Ah, show them say no be muscle
Because oluwa Burna no dey find trouble
Ah, know say them go da yan mo
If you go dey stress you go die untop
Dem go dey talku talku talku
But dem dey love you, love you, love you
Ah, mo ni o ta lenu, o por lenu, o dun lenu
Tell me what I cannot do
If you need money, I go connect you
And if you go wrong, I go correct you
'Cause if you fall down, dem go forget you
Nobody go come to your rescue
Make I just dey for my level
[Chorus]
Mo ni o ta lenu
O por lenu
O dun lenu
Tell me what I cannot do
Tell me what I cannot do
Mo ni o ta lenu
O por lenu
O dun lenu
Tell me what I cannot do
Tell me what I cannot do
[Chorus]
Mo ni o ta lenu
O por lenu
O dun lenu
Tell me what I cannot do
Tell me what I cannot do
Mo ni o ta lenu
O por lenu
O dun lenu
Tell me what I cannot do
Tell me what I cannot do
[Outro]
Tell me what I cannot do
Oluwa Burna
Tell me what I cannot do
Tell me what I cannot do
Tell me what I cannot do
Tell me what I cannot do
[Outro]
Mo ni o ta lenu
O por lenu
O dun lenu
Tell me what I cannot do
Tell me what I cannot do
