[Verse 1: Nenebi and Hidden]
Married so you can't make new friends?
She said she knows how a boy and girl friendship ends
I replied, “Me too I know, in bed or in the friendzone”
Friends back, tomorrow is a workday, it's time to leave
“Take the lead, I am on a nuptial leave
Plus he said he's coming for me”
Phone beeps, opens whatsapp with a beam and closes it with a
“mtcheeeew, why do men act like they hate getting married?”
I said because we hate getting married
She said, “Why do men hate getting married?”
I went Voltaire on her, “God created s**, the priest created marriage
Men believe in God, women like to honor the priest”
She replied with one word, “Genesis”
I replied with many, “Adam didn't pay bride price
Neither did he sign papers
We call that sh** cohabitation”
As we got deeper in the conversation
I said, “I agree marriage is based on love
But love is blind
So marriage is an institution for the blind
And then one day your eyes go gbele to the real person you married
No everyone can take that, that's the reason for divorce”

“I can't be cheating on my hubby-to-be”
I said, “he's yet to be, the engagement is on Friday
Wedding on Saturday
You're still single”
She said, “I have a boyfriend”
I said, “Ghana has a vice president”
She said, “We do? How does it matter?”
“I thought we're talking things that don't matter”
Her man was not showing
Her heart is broken
My jokes are soothing
Her knees are knocking
She put two straws in my coke bottle and said, “Let's kiss”
Broke it in a minute, “Let's be outtie, someone may be watching”
We walk out keeping distance, bodies yearning to touch, minds singing…
[Bridge: Galle Ansah]
Aa aa aaa
[Verse 2: Nenebi]
She can't be seen getting in or out of my room
“So take the long road and let's give you a show
Play us some Rockstones and keep your eyes on the road
I don't want to get to heaven before I get her V flooded”
We made love in a teco cab
Now the memory is like a photograph
Little Miss R. Kelly, the greatest I ever had
I hit her hard like the iceberg did the titanic
Left her with water everywhere in her tight ship
She got me off a million times before getting off
I told her, “Night of my life, I'll never forget you”
She walked off, turned around and said with that melting smile
“You're already behind me”
[Chorus: Galle Ansah]
Gyae, ma menk) oo
Gyae, ma menk) oo
Gyae, ma menk) oo
Na me w) ekunu
Gyae, ma menk) oo
Gyae, ma menk) oo
Gyae, ma menk) oo
Na me w) ekunu
Me w) ekunu wae
[Verse 3: Hidden]
Two days later
The groom sent the wedding brochure
Guess who was the bride in the picture?
I was a surprise at my mystery girl's wedding
Mixed feeling
I wish I could tell the world the things she made my Kwaku Sampson feel
How she lit up my night like One in Town waakye
But I couldn't
All I could say was, “I used to say beauty over brilliance
Because brilliance can be thought
But real breasts can't be bought
With her, I don't have to choose
She's like a well-prepared meal of jollof rice
Everything dey inside
How can one body be blessed with so much beauty, brilliance and delight?
Her smile is like the sweet sound of silence when generators go off”
The groom walked to me and said, “It seems you know my wife”
“Yes, I do in the biblical sense”, I replied in my head
“Esi Darling, come say hi to the poet”
“I already did that to him and his little friend, the bazooka in his boxers”
She seemed to say with her eyes as she hugged and whispered to my ears
“I told you to stay away from me”
