lyrics

I know
I know
I know
I know
I know

You a mean one

I know
I know
I know
I know
I know

You can’t keep em

I know
I know
I know
I know
I know

You a mean one

I know
I know
I know
I know
I know

You can’t keep em


For this love began to burn
And you did not feel the same
Need a pastor in my corner
Or some water for my veins


Love began to burn
Did not feel the same
Or some water for my veins

Swear I love you
Swear I love you
Swear I love you Nakupenda

Nakupenda sana sitaki kwenda

Swear I love you
Swear I love you
Swear I love you Nakupenda

Nakupenda sana sitaki kwenda

Oh love
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh

Let me fall
I have a heart that costs
Paying for it every day my sanity’s what’s lost yeah
Memories. They don’t mean a thing to me
Sending me your gallery using all your energy

What’s the point of caring now ?
What’s the point of sharing now?
You was a whole mystery that I don’t care to figure out
You aint never lie to me
You aint never hide from me
Secrets that you keeping baby I aint crazy blind can see
Im done.
Done
Man you lie when you do not tell it all
(lie when you do not tell it all)
Man you lie when you do not tell it all

Swear I love you
Swear I love you
Swear I love you Nakupenda

Nakupenda sana sitaki kwenda

Man I love you
Man I love you
Man I love you Nakupenda
Nakupenda sana sitaki kwenda

Oh love.
Oh. Oh. Oh.
Oh oh oh oh.

Lie when you do not tell it
Lie when you do not tell it


I know
I know
I know
I know
I know

I can’t keep you

I know
I know
I know
I know
I know

I can’t leave you

I know
I know
I know
I know
I know

I can’t keep you

But I know
I know
I know
I know
I know

I can’t leave you alone

Act like you care about me
We all know you be acting
We could have really made it
Baby this mess is tragic
Never lost my way in life until I met you
And if you really cared I wouldn’t have to play fool

I know
I know
I know
I know
I know

You a fraud

Hellbent and crazy because I gave it all

I know
I know
I know
I know
I know

You a fraud
Hellbent and crazy because I gave it all oh.

La da de dah

Man you lie when you do not tell it all
Man you lie when you do not tell it all
