Intro
Ooh

Nini de, Nini de o, eh

Verse 1
Teardrops falling down my cheeks en
Cheeks en, cheeks en, cheeks en
My heart’s burning, broken, it’s burning
It’s burning, it’s hurting, it’s hurting

Pre-Chorus
I wish, I wish, I wish that you could come back here with me
Baby I wish, I wish, I wish
Baby I wish, I wish, I wish
Everyday, every other day
I dey craze when I call your name
But no answer, baby where you dey?
But no answer, baby where you dey?

Chorus
This life, e no balance
In the life nobody’s balance
‘Cause tomorrow is not promised
Just live today like it’s your last
This life, e no balance
This life its not promised
Live today like it’s your last
Live today like it’s your last

Take my hand, just another day
I wanna feel alright, for the script I can’t rewrite, hm
Suddenly, suddenly, suddenly
I’m alone suddenly
I didn’t plan for this heaven please, help me

Pre-Chorus
I wish, I wish, I wish that you could come back here with me
Baby I wish, I wish, I wish
Baby I wish, I wish, I wish
Everyday, every other day
I dey craze when I call your name
But no answer, baby where you dey?
But no answer, baby where you dey?

Chorus
This life, e no balance
In the life nobody’s balance
‘Cause tomorrow is not promised
Just live today like it’s your last
This life, e no balance
This life its not promised
Live today like it’s your last
Live today like it’s your last

 

Niniola is back with a new song, and it is already pulling at fans’ heartstrings. Her new single Teardrops is officially out now, and listeners are already connecting with the emotional weight behind it. Below are the full lyrics, followed by a closer look at what the song is really about.

What Teardrops Is Really About

Teardrops plays out as a deeply emotional reflection on grief and sudden loss. The song captures the pain of being left behind, longing for someone who cannot return, and struggling to accept a loss that feels impossible to reverse.

Rather than staying in a place of sadness, the song ultimately lands on a message about cherishing every moment, since tomorrow is never guaranteed. It is a theme that has made Teardrops resonate quickly with listeners who have experienced similar loss.

A Different Side of Niniola

Known largely for her high-energy Afro house sound, Niniola uses Teardrops to show a softer, more vulnerable side of her artistry. The shift in tone gives fans a fuller picture of her range as a songwriter.
