Thinking alone (Thinking alone)

Blow me like a pin pin pop

The way you move that toy, toy, toy, toy, toy
Come to me bẹbẹ n lọ

Girl you dey ginger me kọrọ

Summary of this Song Lyrics
________________________________
Don’t Know Lyrics by Davido, expresses a deep emotional and physical longing for someone who has an intense effect on the singer. It begins with the singer rejecting fame and external distractions, choosing instead to reflect on their emotions while drinking alone. Despite attempts to numb the pain with alcohol (“shayo”), nothing works—what they truly crave is the presence of their lover, both physically and emotionally.
The lyrics blend English with Nigerian Pidgin and Yoruba, enhancing the cultural and personal depth. Phrases like “you dey ginger me” (you excite me) and “lalẹ Friday o n lọ, titi Monday o n lọ” (from Friday night till Monday) highlight how constantly the person is on the singer’s mind. There’s a strong sensual tone throughout, with references to dancing, luxury fashion, and shared intimacy.
The second verse adds more flavor and energy, as the singer references high-end fashion brands like Dior and Louis Vuitton, symbolizing both the lover’s allure and a fast-paced, lavish lifestyle. The lines are filled with playful metaphors and slang that reinforce how irresistible and enchanting the lover is. There’s mention of “kayamata” (a traditional aphrodisiac), suggesting that their charm is almost magical.
Throughout the pre-chorus and chorus, there’s a repeated emphasis on the idea that the lover has no idea how much they truly affect the singer. It’s not just infatuation—it’s an emotional and almost spiritual pull. The chorus drives home the core message: “You don’t even know what you do to me.”
Overall, the song is a vibrant mix of desire, vulnerability, and cultural pride, wrapped in melodic Afrobeat rhythms and emotionally charged lyrics.
