Lyrics

Baby, it's kind of crazy
How else to phrase it?
With you, I’ve lost my senses
Baby, what happened to ya?
I thought I knew ya
But now it's time to face it

You're hot and cold
High and you’re low
Messing with my mind
No-oh-oh, that's not how it goes
So let me spell it out

Now I'm better solo, solo
I never let me down, didi, down, down, down
And now I'm gonna show ya, show ya
Show you what it is you're missing out
Now I'm better solo, solo
I never let me down, down, didi, down, down, down
Now I'm gonna show ya, show ya
How I be getting down solo

Tell me
Now was it worth it?
Oh, playin' me dirty
But now who’s laughing, baby?
Watch me
All eyes on me now
Bet you regret how
What goes around comes around

You’re hot and cold
High and you're low
Messing with my mind
No-oh-oh, that’s not how it goes
So let me spell it out

Now I'm better solo, solo
I never let me down, didi, down, down, down
And now I'm gonna show ya, show ya
Show you what it is you're missing out
Now I’m better solo, solo
I never let me down, down, didi, down, down, down
Now I'm gonna show ya, show ya
How I be getting down solo

No, no, I'm going solo
Yeah, you better, better, watch me now
Cause I know how to let go
Gonna make it, make it on my own
Oh, oh no, I'm going solo
Yeah, you better, better, watch me now
'Cause I know how to let go
So it's clear to see I'm

Now I'm better solo, solo
I never let me down, didi, down, down, down
And now I'm gonna show ya, show ya
Show you what it is you're missing out
Now I'm better solo, solo
I never let me down, down, didi, down, down, down
Now I'm gonna show ya, show ya
How I be getting down solo

Trivia

• The very first word of the song, "baby", sounded a lot like "bejba". It instantly went viral, becoming the subject of many social media memes. Blanka ran with it by prominently featuring the word on the skirt of the gown she wore for the opening ceremony.
