Great One - Jessie Reyez

I don't know how many stars fill the sky I know we're here, but I don't know why Maybe there's some other life out there But as long as you're here with me, baby, I don't really care There is only one great mystery And I keep searching for the answer desperately Tell me, tell me baby, tell me please What did I ever do to make you fall for me? Don't know what happens when we leave this world But I know I'll go right on loving you girl I'll close my eyes and drift off into the blue And if I go first, I will wait for you There is only one great mystery And I keep searching for the answer desperately Tell me, tell me baby, tell me please What did I ever do to make you fall for me? I guess I'll never really know How I deserve someone that loves me so There is only one great mystery And I keep searching for the answer desperately Tell me, tell me baby, tell me please What did I ever do to make you fall for me? And I'll keep askin' through eternity What did I ever do to make you fall for me? What did I do baby?

I found you, cleared land Put down my flag This is mine from now on When I see intruders I load up my weapons And fire my cannons I wrote my name Everywhere For all eyes to see You're beautiful, beautiful I see them stare But you belong to me So please, no intruders I kill all intruders 'Cause my love is ruthless So please no intruders I wrote you a love song A war song I'll sing it when the ships come I'll die for my state Love in my veins You are my kingdom I wrote your name Everywhere For all eyes to see You're beautiful, beautiful I see them stare But you belong to me So please, no intruders I kill all intruders 'Cause my love is ruthless So please, no intruders Please, no intruders I kill all intruders 'Cause my love is ruthless So please, no intruders I got heads on the table Heads on a stake Of people that failed And done make the mistake of thinking I'd let them in But this is my land So don't you come in This is my land So please, no intruders I'd kill all intruders 'Cause my love is ruthless So please, no intruders
