Tiwa Savage – Without My Heart Lyrics

R&B

Go

Couple of drinks in me
Feeling a little tipsy
Turning on my sexy (eh eh eh eh, eh eh eh eh)

I know you can't wait to touch me
Baby don't do nothing
I just want you to watch me (eh eh eh eh, eh eh eh eh)

If you are sure
Whine my hips real slow
Boy I bet I know
How to screw your mind till it blows

Emi a jo (o o o)
Emi a jo (o o o)
Emi a jo (o o o)

Just don't leave without my heart (no way ah ah, no way ah, no way ah ah, no o, no way ah ah, no way ah)
Don't leave without my heart (no way ah ah, no way ah, no way ah ah, no)
Baby baby give me some more
Baby please I wanna finish what we started on the floor
(O o o o)
Started on the floor
(O o o o)
Started on the floor
(O o o o)
Started on the floor
(O o o o)
Started on the floor

Hey freaky little flex
Go a little low
How u go see tonight
Baby to get to a throne like me
Omo no be child's play
Omo I go make you sweat
Oya drop it down low
And if you wanna back it up
Back it up slow
Make my mind blow
Make them know
Make them no try come close
Cos this na private show
Eh eh
And if you wanna let loose, let loose
Even if you have to take off your shoes
Make you no send nobody
Cos na you get your body
Baby, oya bere sin jo o o
Bere sin jo o o
Oya bere sin jo o o

If you really want my heart
Prove to me that you want it
No be to dey make mouth o (No way ah ah, no way ah)
If you really want my heart
Prove to me that you want it
Oya show me what you gon do with it
Times two with it
See all the girls dem dey beg for it (eh eh)
Lepa on the floor (eh eh)
Lepa on the floor (eh eh)
Lepa on the floor (eh eh)
Lepa on the floor (eh eh)

I just wanna rip this dress
So that you can see the rest
Get my body screaming yes (eh eh eh eh, eh eh eh eh)

If you are sure
Whine my hips real slow
Boy i bet I know
How to screw your mind till it blows

Emi a jo (o o o)
Emi a jo (o o o)
Oya bere sin jo o o

Just don't leave without my heart (no way ah ah, no way ah, no way ah ah, no o, no way ah ah, no way ah)
Don't leave without my heart (no way ah ah, no way ah, no way ah ah, no)
Baby baby give me some more
Baby please I wanna finish what we started on the floor

Just don't leave without my heart (no way ah ah, no way ah, no way ah ah, no o, no way ah ah, no way ah)
Don't leave without my heart (no way ah ah, no way ah, no way ah ah, no)
Baby baby give me some more
Baby please I wanna finish what we started on the floor

(O o o o)
Started on the floor
(O o o o)
Started on the floor
(O o o o)
Started on the floor
(O o o o)
Started on the floor

About This Song

"Without My Heart" is a sultry, confidence-driven track that explores female sexual agency and the vulnerability that lies beneath bold seduction. On the surface, Tiwa Savage presents herself as a woman in complete control, using alcohol as liquid courage to unleash her sensual power and captivate a lover through deliberate, teasing movements. However, the song's deeper emotional core reveals itself in the repeated plea "don't leave without my heart," exposing the fear of being used purely for physical pleasure and then abandoned. The track masterfully balances empowerment with emotional fragility, showing how sexual confidence can coexist with the need for genuine connection and commitment. Musically, the production features Don Jazzy's signature Afrobeats-influenced R&B style, with hypnotic percussion, smooth synths, and a mid-tempo groove that mirrors the song's seductive energy. Savage's vocal delivery alternates between breathy whispers and powerful declarations, creating an intimate yet commanding presence. The inclusion of Yoruba phrases ("Emi a jo" meaning "I will dance") adds cultural authenticity while emphasizing the celebratory nature of African femininity and sensuality. The song resonated with listeners because it presented a nuanced portrayal of modern African women's sexuality-confident and self-possessed, yet emotionally complex and seeking meaningful connection beyond physical attraction.
