CFMF Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Take a step and walk into my life
In case I mess up, I apologize
In advance, baby, no one knows tomorrow
But I go spoil you, make them know you don arrive
Started all the way from face me, I face you
Face me, I face you
But now, I am living real large, all thanks to Jesu
All thanks to Jesu
This your back side make me holla Jesu
I no go disgrace you, ah

[Chorus]
‘Cause I can’t feel my face no more

Summary of this Song Lyrics
_________________________________
CFMF Lyrics by Davido, captures a heartfelt and passionate love story, where the singer expresses deep admiration and affection for a special woman. It opens with a humble plea for understanding, as he invites her into his life with honesty and vulnerability. Acknowledging that no one can predict the future, he promises to treat her with care and show her off proudly. His journey from humble beginnings (“face me, I face you”) to a successful life, which he credits to divine grace (“thanks to Jesu”), emphasizes his gratitude and growth.
The chorus reveals the emotional impact she has on him — so intense that he “can’t feel his face,” overwhelmed by desire and fascination. Her presence creates a magnetic tension that’s hard to resist, so much so that he would risk anything just to be near her. The repeated phrase “ṣo mọ” (a Yoruba term meaning “do you know?” or “you know”) adds a local, expressive touch that enhances the cultural flavor of the lyrics.
In the second verse, he uses affectionate Nigerian names and references, showing his playful and committed side. He paints a picture of devotion, saying he’s ready to go wherever she goes and stay by her side through any situation. The phrase “de de debẹ” suggests following closely or being fully present.
The outro is catchy and metaphorical, likening his emotional state to being driven like a motor, emphasizing how much control she has over him. Her beauty and confidence (“yanga”) are highlighted as irresistible qualities. Overall, the song is a blend of romance, admiration, and playful tension, laced with cultural references and rhythmic lyricism that celebrate love in a uniquely Afrobeat-inspired way.
