Mmeso Inspires: Yes or No

I love the way you are pretending not to notice me, Mogbe,

Why you sob bitterly at night for my love,

Be a man and approach me,

It is a yes or no after all,

Stop acting like it is a big deal.

Why do your eyes appears swollen every morning?

And you avoids passing along my street,

Why do you always put on pink, my favourite colour?

And you always avoiding me too, Mogbe,

Yet you are drowned in an ocean of love,

It is a yes or no after all,

Stop being a coward!

I love the way you are pretending not to see my new hair, Mogbe,

Why are you being wicked to yourself?

Spill it out and be free,

Remember, nothing will work unless you do,

It is a yes or no from me after all,

Take the risk and stop acting childish!

Moju! someone called from outside.

I love the way you pretended that it was your friend you came to see yesterday at Iyaba street,

Why you actually came to watch me play football,

Yes, I could see the sadness in your face when my sister came to call me,

You thought she was my lover,

My love has clouded your brain that you couldn’t even see the striking resemblance,

Why are you being wicked to your self,

Do you want my love to drive you crazy?

It is not a big deal, Moju,

It is a yes or no after all.
