One step closer by Funbi (2024)

If is what this is gotta be
I dey run from my ex
The way she dey do me
You would think she was Messi
How she's passing it to me
Baby stop it the way you whining that o
Should make me reconsider but wahala ti sun mi
Still I can't hold back when she's closer

Make me wanna slip inside her DM like some loafers
I know it's complicated why can't we say it's over
You think you're independent but it's second of October aren't we passed that passed that
I know that you feel me
Timaya pulled me to the side and told me ukwu go kill me
Yeah I feel the pleasure in the pain jor
Or some sh*t I can't explain jor

So lovely but dangerous
I want it I hate it
Don't leave me don't love me
Just pull me one step closer
It's crazy I'm falling
Amazing bad for me
Don't leave me don't love me
Just pull me one step closer next to you
Right next
Next to you
Right next
Pull me one step closer

Baba e wa n le mama e wa n le
I should come in and dobale but I picked you at the gate
I swear I got some manners but I struggle to behave especially when u put that thing in my face well
Baby none of that now
She don't wanna back down
Told her not to go there
But it's in my lap now
Why you so nosey see you looking back now
Watching me watching you watch us go off track now
Isn't she girl u drive me crazy
The way you turn a no into a yes f*cker a maybe
Wait don't move a muscle o and please don't swallow
Didn't we promise our parents we would use those for babies

So lovely but dangerous
I want it I hate it
Don't leave me don't love me
Just pull me one step closer
It's crazy I'm falling
Amazing bad for me
Don't leave me don't love me
Just pull me one step closer next to you
Next to you
Pull me one step closer

I give my all to you for the whole world to see
I know you’re finding this so hard to believe
That all I want from you is that you also want me
That’s all I want that’s all I need
That’s all I need that’s all I want

So lovely but dangerous
I want it I hate it
Don't leave me don't love me
Just pull me one step closer
It's crazy I'm falling
Amazing bad for me

Don't leave me don't love me
Just pull me one step closer next to you you you you closer next to you

The lyrics to Funbi's song "One Step Closer" discuss a complicated and tumultuous romantic relationship. The singer acknowledges that they should be moving on from their ex, who treated them poorly, but they are unable to resist the temptation when their ex comes closer to them. Despite the complications and the pain involved, they are drawn to this person and want to be closer to them. The lyrics convey a sense of confusion and conflicting emotions, as the singer acknowledges the danger and the negative impact this relationship has on them, yet they also crave the closeness and connection.

The song explores the theme of love and desire, highlighting the complexities and contradictions that can arise in romantic relationships. It touches on the struggle between wanting someone and knowing that they are not good for you. The lyrics also touch on the idea of temptation and the difficulty of resisting it, even when we know it's not beneficial for us.

If is what this is gotta be
If this is what our relationship has to be

I dey run from my ex
I am trying to escape from my ex

The way she dey do me
The way she treats me

You would think she was Messi
You would think she is as skillful as Messi

How she's passing it to me
How she is passing the pain and complications to me

Baby stop it the way you whining that o
Baby, please stop behaving that way

Should make me reconsider but wahala ti sun mi
It should make me reconsider, but the trouble has weakened me

Still I can't hold back when she's closer
Still, I can't resist her when she is near me

Make me wanna slip inside her DM like some loafers
Make me want to slide into her direct messages like slipping on loafers

I know it's complicated why can't we say it's over
I know our relationship is complicated, why can't we end it?

You think you're independent but it's second of October aren't we passed that passed that
You think you are self-reliant, but it's already the second of October, haven't we moved on from that?

I know that you feel me
I know that you understand me

Timaya pulled me to the side and told me ukwu go kill me
Timaya took me aside and told me that the waist will drive me crazy

Yeah I feel the pleasure in the pain jor
Yeah, I feel the joy in the midst of the pain

Or some sh*t I can't explain jor
Or something I cannot explain

So lovely but dangerous
You are beautiful but also risky

I want it I hate it
I desire it, even though I hate it

Don't leave me don't love me
Don't abandon me, don't love me

Just pull me one step closer
Just bring me closer, take me one step closer

It's crazy I'm falling
It's insane, I am falling

Amazing bad for me
Incredible, but harmful for me

Baba e wa n le mama e wa n le
Father, you are still alive, mother, you are still alive

I should come in and dobale but I picked you at the gate
I should come inside and prostrate, but instead, I chose you at the entrance

I swear I got some manners but I struggle to behave especially when u put that thing in my face well
I swear I have manners, but I struggle to control myself, especially when you tempt me with your seduction

Baby none of that now
Baby, refrain from doing that now

She don't wanna back down
She doesn't want to step back

Told her not to go there
I told her not to go in that direction

But it's in my lap now
But now, it is within my reach

Why you so nosey see you looking back now
Why are you so nosy? I see you glancing back now

Watching me watching you watch us go off track now
Observing me, watching you, as we deviate from the right path

Isn't she girl u drive me crazy
Isn't she the girl who drives me insane?

The way you turn a no into a yes f*cker a maybe
The way you change a 'no' into a 'yes,' confusing me with a 'maybe'

Wait don't move a muscle o and please don't swallow
Wait, don't even move, and please don't make a hasty decision

Didn't we promise our parents we would use those for babies
Didn't we promise our parents we would utilize those methods for having children?

I give my all to you for the whole world to see
I give everything to you, for everyone to see

I know you’re finding this so hard to believe
I understand that you find this difficult to believe

That all I want from you is that you also want me
All I desire from you is for you to want me too

That’s all I want that’s all I need
That's all I want, that's all I need

That’s all I need that’s all I want
That's all I need, that's all I want

Next to you you you you closer next to you
Beside you, closer to you
