The song is about unrequited love. He loves her so much, but he keeps getting mixed signals from her, and sometimes, nothing at all.
Ole means ‘Thief’. He’s calling her a thief because he has worn his heart on his sleeve and she has taken it without saying why.
[Intro]
Guy, Freestyle this girl na ole I no dey like wetin the girl dey do
How e dey do am now e just dey blow my heart anyhow make she let me know now
Although I need this girl why e dey do my heart like this

Ole
[Verse 1: 2Face]
Baby, maybe there's a different kind of spirit about you
Or maybe, baby, it's the way you smile every time I make you to
I can't understand wetin you do
Wey e dey make me feel irie, oh ai
But if I ever tell a tie, make I buy
I dey trip for you mailay
After all is said and done
You don't even show me you carry di don
You don't even make me feel like you're number one
You don't even try to show me my position
It is only fair that you should let me know
You should let me know how you feel about me so
I have had enough of your coming
I am dying for your loving
[Chorus: 2Face]
I am calling you ole
'Cause you stole my heart away
'Cause I gave all my life to you
Girl, I pump your gbagbo on tu
If you really really want me so
Then, baby you should let me know
If that was only me, I will let you know I love you so
That is not the way the story should go
'Cause it feels good, loving somebody
And somebody loves you back (eh ai, eh ai)
'Cause it feels good, needing somebody
And somebody needs you back, needs you back
[Verse 2: 2Face]
Maybe, baby, you are scared of letting go of your emotions
Maybe, baby, you just trying to give I and I some attention
I've been waiting as you sleep patiently for you to tell me your decision, my position
But I got this funny feeling, I'll say that my heart is in redemption
Claim what you get before it gets too late
But the way way you dey do, e be like you get plenty faith
Carry me along, you know I got your back
Help me, if you are wrong, baby, have no fear
It is only fair that you should let me know
You should let me know how you feel about me so
I have had enough of your coming
I am dying for your loving
[Chorus: 2Face]
I am calling you ole
'Cause you stole my heart away
'Cause I gave all my life to you
Girl, I pump your gbagbo on tu
If you really really want me so
Then, baby you should let me know
If that was only me, I will let you know I love you so
That is not the way the story should go
'Cause it feels good, loving somebody
And somebody loves you back (eh ai)
'Cause it feels good, needing somebody
And somebody needs you back, needs you back (yeah)
[Verse 3: Freestyle]
Mami, you might as well, take my body and soul
'Cause you got everything else under control
I am trapped behind bars, mami, won't let me out of her control
So crazy like that Kelly Rowland lady, my heart was stolen, emotions getting messed up
See, you let me get stuck
Putting me on cruise, like you feeling my sleeve
But would you believe
All I yarn just follow the breeze
Glow like say, I no go fit find woman replace you
I no go send you forever
You no be one and phase two
But, I will feel as lost when you gone
Depending where you from, so I will carry on
With what I do best, to make shawty's spot in the cute dress
Word to my honeys and all newest
Soldier go, soldier come
No dey scope, me dey run
I'm not small boy, don't take me to cut fun
I know you feeling this thing really
So stop acting silly and cut the crap
You got my heart, I want it back
[Bridge: 2Face]
After all it is said and done
You don't even show me you carry di don
You don't even make me feel like your number one
You don't even try to show me my position
It is only fair that you should let me know
You should let me know how you feel about me so
I have had enough of your coming
I am dying for your loving
[Chorus: 2Face]
I am calling you ole
'Cause you stole my heart away
'Cause I gave all my life to you
Girl, I pump your gbagbo on tu
If you really really want me so
Then, baby you should let me know
If that was only me, I will let you know I love you so
That is not the way the story should go
'Cause it feels good, loving somebody (eh ai, oh oh oh)
And somebody loves you back (eh ai)
'Cause it feels good, needing somebody
And somebody needs you back, needs you back (yeah)
Eh ai, eh ai
