[Intro/Whakaupoko]
Ooh, ooh

[Verse 1/Tahi Whiti]
Wahangū ana te noho
Tē puta i a au he kupu
Haere ana a mahara
Tē taea te pupuri

[Pre-Chorus/Korihi Mua]
I hē tāku ki a koe
Koinei i roa ai
A muna kua tino ara
Tē aro ka pēnei

[Chorus/Korihi]
Kua kore he kupu
Mō rā kē atu
Puta ana he kupu, waipuketia atu ana
Kua kore he kupu
Tē aro he kupu
He āhuatanga tōu, e tōreretia nei, āe rā

[Verse 2/Rua Whiti]
He āhuatanga tōu, e tōreretia nei
Tiro mai koe anō i patua
Mahue ko ngākau marū
Nā, kua raruraru au
Miere ana te tinana

[Pre-Chorus/Korihi Mua]
I hē tāku ki a koe
Koinei i roa ai
A muna kua tino ara
Tē aro ka pēnei

[Chorus/Korihi]
Kua kore he kupu
Mō rā kē atu
Puta ana he kupu, waipuketia atu ana
Kua kore he kupu
Tē aro he kupu
He āhuatanga tōu, e tōreretia nei, āe rā
He āhuatanga tōu, e tōreretia nei, āe rā
He āhuatanga tōu, e tōreretia nei, āe rā

[Pre-Chorus/Korihi Mua]
I hē tāku ki a koe
Koinei i roa ai
A muna kua tino ara
Tē aro ka pēnei

[Chorus/Korihi]
Kua kore he kupu
Mō rā kē atu
Puta ana he kupu, waipuketia atu ana
Kua kore he kupu
Tē aro he kupu
He āhuatanga tōu, e tōreretia nei, āe rā
He āhuatanga tōu, e tōreretia nei, āe rā
He āhuatanga tōu, e tōreretia nei, āe rā

[Outro/Whakamutunga]
Ooh, ooh

Stella Rose Bennett (born 30 January 2000), known professionally as BENEE (formerly Bene), is a New Zealand singer-songwriter who debuted in December 2017 with “Tough Guy.” Music had always been part of her life, with a family history in theatre. BENEE’s first instrument was a saxophone, playing it for several years, along with the guitar.

BENEE started posting music to Soundcloud in her final year of high school (2017), catching the attention of producer Josh Fountain. The pair went on the work together in several of her singles, including break-out single “Soaked” which was featured on triple j’s hottest 100 (2018).

After spending two weeks in a communications course at the Auckland Institute of Technology, Benee realised she wanted to be making music full-time.
