You had a dream, you wanted better
– Unephupha, ufuna ngcono
You were sick of all the holes in your sweater
– Wagula kuyo yonke imingxunya kwijezi yakho
You looked to me and wondered whether
– Wandijonga wandibuza ukuba
I was the lamppost to which you were tethered
– Ndisisibane enasibethelelwa kuso
I’m lookin’ at you, and you’re lookin’ at me
– Ndijonge kuwe, undijonge
But the glimmer in your eyes is sayin’ you wanna leave
– Kodwa i-glimmer emehlweni akho ithi ufuna ukuhamba
You say you don’t mean what you’re sayin’ to me
– Nithi anithethi lento niyithethayo kum
But the glimmer in your eyes is telling me other things
– Kodwa ukukhanya emehlweni akho kundixelela ezinye izinto
I don’t wanna get undressed
– I don’t want noodles noodles noodles
For a new person all over again
– Ngomntu omtsha kwakhona
I don’t wanna kiss someone else’s neck
– Andifuni ukwanga intamo yomnye umntu
And have to pretend it’s yours instead
– Kwaye kufuneka wenze ngathi yeyakho endaweni yoko
I took the train to see my mother
– Ndathatha uloliwe ukuze ndibone umama
I look across the track to see you with another
– Ndijonge ngaphaya komkhondo ukuze ndikubone nomnye
There’s nothin’ worse than seein’ your lover
– Akukho nto imbi ngaphezu kokubona isithandwa sakho
Moving on while you still suffer
– Ukuhamba ngelixa usabandezeleka
I’m lookin’ at you, and you’re lookin’ at me
– Ndijonge kuwe, undijonge
But the glimmer in your eyes is sayin’ you wanna leave
– Kodwa i-glimmer emehlweni akho ithi ufuna ukuhamba
You say you don’t mean what you’re sayin’ to me
– Nithi anithethi lento niyithethayo kum
But the glimmer in your eyes is telling me other things
– Kodwa ukukhanya emehlweni akho kundixelela ezinye izinto
I don’t wanna get undressed
– I don’t want noodles noodles noodles
For a new person all over again
– Ngomntu omtsha kwakhona
I don’t wanna kiss someone else’s neck
– Andifuni ukwanga intamo yomnye umntu
And have to pretend it’s yours instead
– Kwaye kufuneka wenze ngathi yeyakho endaweni yoko
And I don’t wanna learn another scent
– Kwaye andifuni ukufunda elinye ivumba
I don’t want the children of another man
– Andifuni abantwana bomnye umntu
To have the eyes of the girl that I won’t forget
– Ukuba namehlo entombazana endingayi kuyilibala
I won’t forget
– Andilibali
I don’t wanna get undressed
– I don’t want noodles noodles noodles
For a new person all over again
– Ngomntu omtsha kwakhona
I don’t wanna kiss someone else’s neck
– Andifuni ukwanga intamo yomnye umntu
And have to pretend it’s yours instead
– Kwaye kufuneka wenze ngathi yeyakho endaweni yoko
I don’t wanna get undressed
– I don’t want noodles noodles noodles
For a new person all over again
– Ngomntu omtsha kwakhona
