[Verse 1: Sam Smith]
Keep thinkin' that I'm seein' water
You're playing tricks on me in the sun
See your shadow in the courtyard
Stays until the day is done
The desert don't end, the rain don't fall
And I can't pretend I don't want you all
'Cause I want you all
You all, you all, you all

[Pre-Chorus: Sam Smith]
Oh, babe, I really need you (Need you)
My feelings gettin' deeper (Deeper)
My mind is in a free fall (Free fall)
But there's nothing I can do when it comes to you
You play with my emotions (Emotions)
I'm flowin' like the ocean (Ocean)
I pray for your devotion (Devotion)
'Cause there's nothing I can do when it comes to you

[Chorus: Sam Smith]
My oa, my oa, my oasis
My oa, my oa, my oasis
My oa, my oa, my oasis
There's nothing I can do when it comes to you

[Verse 2: Burna Boy]
Wait a minute, tell me why you're movin' like that
Na, you wey I choose, but you make it so hard
I gave you my heart, you're makin' it so dark
But there's nothing I can do when it comes to you
You takin' it for granted
A lot of silence, the river don't end
'Cause I want you all, yeah
You all, you all, you all

[Pre-Chorus: Sam Smith]
Oh, babe, I really need you (Need you, oh, baby)
My feelings gettin' deeper (Deeper)
My mind is in a free fall (Free fall)
But there's nothing I can do when it comes to you
You play with my emotions (Emotions)
I'm flowin' like the ocean (Ocean)
I pray for your devotion (Devotion)
'Cause there's nothing I can do when it comes to you

[Chorus: Sam Smith]
My oa, my oa, my oasis
My oa, my oa, my oasis
My oa, my oa, my oasis
There's nothing I can do when it comes to you
My oa, my oa, my oasis
My oa, my oa, my oasis
My oa, my oa, my oasis
There's nothing I can do when it comes to you

[Outro: Burna Boy]
I remember say me tell you
You're my all and you're my everything
And me tell you 'til it's all over
Oluwa Burna, oh

Sam Smith was born on 19th May 1992 and grew up in a rural village on the border of Hertfordshire and Cambridgeshire, the nearest town being Bishops Stortford. They’re the oldest of three siblings and are said to be close to their younger sisters. Their mother is a successful City of London trader and their father a stay-at-home dad who brought up the children.

Smith showed an early talent for singing, and their parents responded by arranging singing lessons from the age of eight with professional jazz singer and songwriter, Joanna Eden. At the early age of seventeen, they left school to pursue their dream, living in a small one-bed flat and working in a London pub, but ended up isolated and beset by loneliness.

Sam knew they were gay, they said, for as long as they could remember. They suffered bullying at school and were shocked to find that even in London—close to gay communities—they were subjected to homophobic attacks. These negative experiences, combined with an inherently emotional nature, inform their songwriting and delivery. The soulful, beautifully rich tone of their voice and the subject of the lyrics ‘speak’ to many people and have led to their success.
