I still remember the third of December, me in your sweater
– Ndikhumbula ngomhla wesithathu kudisemba, me in your sweatshirt
You said it looked better on me than it did you
– Uthe ukhangeleke ngcono kum kunokuba wenze
Only if you knew how much I liked you
– Kuphela ukuba uyayazi indlela endikuthanda ngayo
But I watch your eyes as she
– Kodwa ndijonge amehlo akho njengoko yena
Walks by
– Hamba nge
What a sight for sore eyes
– Enjani yona ukubona amehlo abuhlungu
Brighter than the blue sky
– Khanyisa ngaphezu kwesibhakabhaka esiluhlaza
She’s got you mesmerized while I die
– Uyandikhathaza xa ndisifa
Why would you ever kiss me?
– Kutheni ungandanga nje?
I’m not even half as pretty
– Andikho nkqu elungileyo isiqingatha
You gave her your sweater, it’s just polyester
– You give her sweatshirt, it’s just sweatshirt
But you like her better
– Kodwa uyamthanda ngcono
Wish I were Heather
– Akwaba Heather
Watch as she stands with her, holding your hand
– Jonga njengoko eme naye, ebambe isandla sakho
Put your arm ’round her shoulder, now I’m getting colder
– Beka ingalo yakho ‘ ejikeleze igxalaba lakhe, ngoku ndiyabanda
But how could I hate her? She’s such an angel
– Kodwa ndinokumthiya njani? Uyingelosi enje
But then again, kinda wish she were dead as she
– Kodwa kwakhona, kinda unqwenela ukuba ufile njengaye
Walks by
– Hamba nge
What a sight for sore eyes
– Enjani yona ukubona amehlo abuhlungu
Brighter than the blue sky
– Khanyisa ngaphezu kwesibhakabhaka esiluhlaza
She’s got you mesmerized while I die
– Uyandikhathaza xa ndisifa
Why would you ever kiss me?
– Kutheni ungandanga nje?
I’m not even half as pretty
– Andikho nkqu elungileyo isiqingatha
You gave her your sweater, it’s just polyester
– You give her sweatshirt, it’s just sweatshirt
But you like her better
– Kodwa uyamthanda ngcono
I wish I were Heather
– Akwaba Heather
(Oh, oh)
– (Owu, owu)
I wish I were Heather
– Akwaba Heather
(Oh, oh)
– (Owu, owu)
Wish I were Heather
– Akwaba Heather
Why would you ever kiss me?
– Kutheni ungandanga nje?
I’m not even half as pretty
– Andikho nkqu elungileyo isiqingatha
You gave her your sweater, it’s just polyester
– You give her sweatshirt, it’s just sweatshirt
But you like her better
– Kodwa uyamthanda ngcono
Wish I were
– Akwaba bendinjalo
