About This Track

'Trophy' by Nao is an R&B/Soul track from the album 'For All We Know', released in 2016. The lyrics frame a flirtatious, anxious rush of feelings, with nervousness, verbal fumbles, and colour-struck embarrassment giving way to a question over whether perceptions can be changed. There is also an insistence on self-worth, pushing back against being reduced to a mere number, and ending on an invitation to try. The chorus line, “If you”, cuts off in the excerpt provided, leaving the final turn of thought implied rather than fully stated.

"Trophy" is a track by Nao, from the album For All We Know, released 29th July 2016. It's filed under R&B/Soul. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 3 articles about Nao.

Lyrics

Trophy

[Verse 1: NAO]

You make me nervous

Turning red

I'll take my time

Tripping over words and I'm seeing colours

Can I change your mind?

And age ain't but a number

Do you care?

On the other side

I'm more than just a number

Kinda rare

Would you like to try?

[Chorus: NAO]

If you think that I'm a trophy you (better change your mind)

Better change your mind (I ain't your trophy, oh, no no)

Oh no, no

If you think that I would want you to (you're wrong all the time)

Better get in line (get in line)

Better get in line

Oh, no

[Post-Chorus: NAO]

Baby, I'm no trophy to you

Baby, I'm no trophy, no no

Baby, I'm no trophy to you

[Verse 2: NAO]

Light up the circus for the cage

Better say your line

(Better say your line)

Tripping over heels and I'm seeing metals

Hanging of the side

(Hanging of the side)

So trash me from your number

Do you care?

Would you even notice me?

I'm more than just a number

Kinda rare

Can't afford to purchase me

[Chorus: NAO]

If you think that I'm a trophy you (better change your mind)

Better change your mind (I ain't your trophy, oh, no no)

Oh no, no

If you think that I would want you to (you're wrong all the time)

Better get in line (get in line)

Better get in line

Oh no

[Interlude: NAO]

No, no

I think about it

Would you let me?

[Bridge: A.K Paul]

I know you talking about me

You can't escape now from me

You make angry, but you knew you know I get it

But I'll make up to you

Check up to see what you mean

Get your slice to you

You know I'd give you

[Breakdown: A.K Paul & and Nao]

Right now need to give you protection

Right now need to give you protection

Right now need to give you protection

Right now need to give you protection

(You know I'd give it)

Right now need to give you protection

Right now need to give you protection

(You know I'd give it)

Right now need to give you protection

(You know I'd give it)

Right now need to give you protection

(You know I'd give it)

Right now need to give you protection

(You know I'd give it)

Right now need to give you protection

(You know I'd give it)

Right now need to give you protection

I say

[?]

[Outro: A.K Paul & and Nao]

Ooooh

Yeaahhh
