[Verse 1]

I am not an open book (never been)

So how’d you get in every nook and cranny

And no one's ever had me shook (never been)

Can’t afford an L on book, no money

It takes time and devotion and a lot of hoping

To fix what is broken, broken oh

And to prove that you’ll be here even after the moment

With both arms wide open oh


[Hook]

So if say another love

I don’t wanna know

I don’t wanna find it

Cause you feel like home, home, home

Not looking no more

I’m happy right here

With you and you alone, ‘lone, ‘lone

I don’t wanna find it

Cause you feel like home, home, home (mama you feel like home)

I’m happy right here

Cause you feel like home, home, home


[Verse 2]

Never played the games I play (not even one)

Taught me there’s another way, uncanny

Follow through with things you say (every one)

Did it all so you could stay ntombazane yami uh

It takes time and devotion and a lot of hoping

To fix what is broken, broken oh

And to prove that you’ll be here even after the moment

With both arms wide open oh


[Hook]

So if say another love

I don’t wanna know

I don’t wanna find it

Cause you feel like home, home, home

Not looking no more

I’m happy right here

With you and you alone, ‘lone, ‘lone

I don’t wanna find it

Cause you feel like home, home, home (mama you feel like home)

I’m happy right here

Cause you feel like home, home, home


[Verse 3]

Yeah Back then, when I used to preach ‘no love no loss’ (no love no loss yeah)

I was mad then, telling anybody trying they could kick rocks (trying they could- off)

But you ain’t go you ain’t budge

You was acting like you didn’t hear me (like you didn’t hear me)

Now it’s all yours I’m all yours

Because just to get somebody near me

It takes time and devotion and a lot of hoping

To fix what is broken, broken oh

And to prove that you’ll be here even after the moment

With both arms wide open oh


[Hook]

So if say another love

I don’t wanna know

I don’t wanna find it

Cause you feel like home, home, home

Not looking no more

I’m happy right here

With you and you alone, ‘lone, ‘lone

I don’t wanna find it

Cause you feel like home, home, home (mama you feel like home)

I’m happy right here

Cause you feel like home, home, home
