Ividyo Kliphu
Lyrics
I never thought I’d see you looking at me this way
– Angikaze ngicabange ukuthi ngizokubona ungibheka ngale ndlela
Almost vulgar and out of place
– Cishe okuxekethile nokungafaneleki
Like seeing the moon in the day
– Njengokubona inyanga emini
I find it hard not to look away
– Ngikuthola kunzima ukungabheki kude
Hard to believe it’s the same face
– Kunzima ukukholelwa ukuthi ubuso obufanayo
I saw twisted in anger
– Ngabona iphendukezelwe ngentukuthelo
I thought you’d hate me forever
– Ngangicabanga ukuthi uzongizondaeverade
Now I feel your hand under the table, a
– Manje ngizizwa isandla sakho ngaphansi kwetafula, a
At the fancy restaurant
– E-fancy restaurant
Gripping on my inner thigh
– Ngibambe ithanga lami langaphakathi
Like if you don’t I’m gonna run
– Njengokuthi uma ungakwenzi ngizogijima
But I’m not going anywhere
– Kodwa angiyi ndawo
Least not anywhere you’re not
– Okungenani hhayi noma kuphi lapho ungekho khona
Got me wrapped around your finger
– Ngisongwe ngomunwe wakho
Tied in a double knot
– Ukubopha ngefindo eliphindwe kabili
Just like our legs all double knotted
– Njengemilenze yethu yonke inamafindo amabili
In the morning at the Ritz
– Ekuseni eritz
$700 dollar room still drinking coffee from the Keurig
– Igumbi lama-dollar angu-700 lisaphuza ikhofi elivela ekeurig
We’re soaking up the luxuries on someone else’s dime
– Sicwilisa izinto zokunethezeka ngemali yomunye umuntu
Living the dream before we fully pass our prime
– Ukuphila iphupho ngaphambi sidlule ngokugcwele prime yethu
And when we do
– Futhi lapho senza
I’ll have time to write the book on you
– Ngizoba nesikhathi sokubhala incwadi ngawe
Time to write the book on you
– Isikhathi sokubhala incwadi ngawe
Time to write the book on you
– Isikhathi sokubhala incwadi ngawe
Time to write the book on you
– Isikhathi sokubhala incwadi ngawe
Sitting on the kitchen counter
– Ukuhlala ekhawunteni lasekhishini
Counting bug bites on your thighs
– Ukubala bug bites on emathangeni akho
Just another southern summer
– Ngolunye nje ihlobo laseningizimu
Sweating bullets in the highs
– Ukujuluka izinhlamvu phezulu
Watermelon dripping down your chin
– I-Watermelon econsa phansi esihlathini sakho
Laughing ’til you cry
– Ukuhleka uze ukhale
Sweetest tears I ever tasted
– Izinyembezi ezimnandi kunazo zonke engake ngazinambitha
Kissing salt out of your eyes
– Ukuqabula usawoti emehlweni akho
I’ve been circumventing your pet peeves
– Bengilokhu ngigwema ukubuka isilwane sakho
Bending over backwards every time that you say please
– Ukugoba emuva njalo lapho uthi sicela
I just wanna make you happy
– Ngifuna nje ukukwenza ujabule
Will you let me spend a lifetime trying?
– Ingabe uyongivumela ukuba ngichithe ukuphila kwami konke ngizama?
And if you do
– Futhi uma wenza kanjalo
I’ll have time to write the book on you
– Ngizoba nesikhathi sokubhala incwadi ngawe
Time to write the book on you
– Isikhathi sokubhala incwadi ngawe
Time to write the book on you
– Isikhathi sokubhala incwadi ngawe
Time to write the book on you
– Isikhathi sokubhala incwadi ngawe
Finally time to write the book on you
– Ekugcineni isikhathi sokubhala incwadi ngawe
I still believe in God sometimes
– Ngisakholelwa Kunkulunkulu ngezinye izikhathi
It always takes me by surprise
– Ngaso sonke isikhathi kuyangimangaza
To catch myself in the middle of praying
– Ukuze ngizithole ngisemkhankasweni wokuthandaza
But I thank God for you
– Kodwa Ngiyambonga Unkulunkulu ngawe
When I don’t know what else to do
– Lapho ngingazi ukuthi yini enye engingayenza
Don’t know where the words go but I still say ‘em
– Angazi ukuthi amazwi aya kuphi kodwa ngisasho ukuthi ‘ em
If it’s not God, it’s Fate
– Uma Kungeyena Unkulunkulu, Kuyisiphetho
If it’s not Fate, it’s Chance
– Uma Kungeyona Inhlanhla, Kuyithuba
If it’s my chance I’m gonna take it
– Uma kuyithuba lami ngizolithatha
Cause who gets the chance
– Ngoba ubani othola ithuba
Like the one that I have?
– Njengalowo enginakho?
To catch the most wanted man in West Tennessee
– Ukubamba indoda efunwa kakhulu Entshonalanga Tennessee
If you let me write the book
– Uma ungivumela ukuba ngibhale le ncwadi
Open the hood and take a look
– Vula i-hood bese ubheka
I promise anything you give me
– Ngithembisa noma yini onginika yona
Is something I will keep
– Yinto engizoyigcina
We can burn it when it’s done
– Singakushisa lapho sekwenziwe
Soot and cinder in the sun
– Umlotha nomlotha elangeni
Nothing left for anyone to read and weep
– Akukho lutho olwalusele ukuba umuntu alufunde futhi akhale
