[Intro: Sade Adu]
Is it a crime?
Is it a crime
That I still want you
And I want you to want me too?
[Chorus: Rema]
Baby (Rema), baby sun mọ́ mí
You know say you match my steeze
You know I'm a G
Shawty, I'ma always keep it real
I no dey for too much whining, dey for too much whining
As e dey be (Ooh)
As the shayo dey enter, oya, make we kolobi
Oya, show yourself, do over-sabi
Love is in the air, baby, breathe in
[Verse 1: Rema]

Baby, anytime you need me, I dey available
Compatible, two of us dey compatible
Girl, I be bad boy, forget say I dey mellow
Ah, baby, I dey fold, baby, take it slow
Baby, go down low, nobody gats to know
Oya, I know I play around, but me no fit to let you go

[Chorus: Rema & Sade Adu]
(Is it a crime?) Baby, baby sun mọ́ mí
You know say you match my steeze

As e dey be (Ooh)
As the shayo dey enter, oya, make we kolobi
Oya, show yourself, do over-sabi (Ooh)
Love is in the air, baby, breathe in
