LYRICS
I have a confession, don't take it personal
I have a confession, so you got to listen
I have a confession, don't take it personal
I have a confession, so you got to listen
See I like Beyonce, but she dey with Jigga
I like Nicki, her yansh is bigger
I like Rihanna, she dey make me dey go gaga
I like Omotola 'cause people like her
I like Genevieve, I think that she's so sweet
And Nadia Buhari 'cause she no dey drink garri
It's not her fault you know
You cannot blame me though
I wanna have them all
I know it's wrong but the truth is that
I am just an Oliver

You got a secret, but I think I know it
You want to let it out but them go call you ashy
You like to do it, do the Mzansi dancing
I know you like D'banj and you like Don Jazzy
You like 2Baba and you like Fally 'Pupa
And I know you love Trey Songz
But you no fit sing his songs
I thought as much you know
I do not blame you though
You wanna have them all
You know it's wrong but the truth is that is just an Oliver

Bum, bum, bum-bum-bum
Oliver, Oliver, Oliver Twist x 4
