(Yo, yo, yo, whoo)

You see me playing with my headphones
Didn’t see you coming in
Now you’ve got me with my back turned,
I don’t even know where to begin (I don’t even know where to begin)
So much to tell you,
I haven’t had the time to work it out
So I’ll take this opportunity to lay it all down (Lay it all down)

(You should know) You should know,
(What I know) What I know
(Just can’t hold) Just can’t hold,
(Back no more) Oh!

[Chorus]
So I whisper words I wanna say,
I know you’ll never hear it
You know everyday I pave the way,
But never getting near it
‘Cos I’m just reminiscin’
Don’t listen to my confession
(Oh, my confession, yeah)

When I listen on my headphones,
And the rhythm’s on my mind,
I send the music through the air, yeah,
And the meaning’s intertwined
Lost in the music,
It’s the only thing I wanna do
So I’ll take this opportunity to tell you the truth, yeah yeah

(You should know) You should know,
(What I know) What I know
(Just can’t hold) Just can’t hold,
(Back no more) Oh!

[Chorus]

Take your head phones off (Headphones off)
Listen to my heart (Listen to my heart)
You’re gonna get this,
I’m talking to you, yeah (I’m talking to you)
Take your headphones off (Come on)
Let’s go from the start (From the start)
All I’m feeling,
I’m confessing to you.

Got me confessin’ like a mission but I, I put it down
Want respect, from my brother
But run it like Chris Brown
I’m a man now, got respect, from my peers now
Just open up your heart yo and let me in now

(You should know) You should know,
(What I know) What I know
(Just can’t hold) Just can’t hold,
(Back no more) Back no moooooooorrrreee!

So I whisper words I wanna say,
I know you’ll never hear it (never hear it)
You know everyday I pave the way, (every day I pave the way)
But never getting near it
‘Cos I’m just reminiscin’ (reminiscin’)
Don’t listen to my confession
(Hey hey, hey)

So I’ll whisper (whisper words) words I wanna (wanna say) say,
I know you’ll (every day) never hear it (oh, ooooooo)
You know everyday I pave the way,
But never getting near it (Never, never, never, never, no)
‘Cos I’m just reminiscin’ (oh, oh)
Don’t listen to my confession (Don’t listen)
(Oh, Oh)
