Oliver Twist Lyrics

[Verse 1: D'Banj]
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 say I have a confession, so you got to listen
See I like Beyoncé, 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'm just an Oliver

[Hook: D'Banj & Don Jazzy]
Oliver, Oliver, Oliver Twist
Just an Oliver
Oliver, Oliver, Oliver Twist

You’re just an Oliver
Oliver, Oliver, Oliver Twist
I’m just an Oliver
Oliver, Oliver, Oliver Twist
Oliver eh
Rebete rebete rebete
Labata labata labata
Sebede sebede sebede
Rebete rebete rebete
[Verse 2: D'Banj]
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 hmm hmmm mmm mmm
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 what you know, I do not blame you though
You wanna have them all, you know it's wrong

But the truth is that
You’re just an Oliver

[Hook: D'Banj & Don Jazzy]
Oliver Oliver Oliver Twist
You're just an Oliver

You’re just an Oliver

You just an Oliver
Oliver Oliver Oliver Twist

Labata labata labata
Sebede sebede sebede

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
