Taylor mwepesi, teleka

[Chorus 1:]
Why would wewe wanna break a perfectly good heart?
Why would wewe wanna take our upendo and tear it all apart,now?
Why would wewe wanna make the very first scar?
Why would wewe wanna break a perfectly good heart?

Maybe I should've seen the signs, should've read the uandishi on the wall.
And realized kwa the distance in your eyes that I would be the one to fall.
No matter what wewe say, I still can't believe
That wewe would walk away.
It don't make sense to me, but:

[Repeat Chorus 1:]
Why would wewe wanna break a perfectly good heart?
Why would wewe wanna take our upendo and tear it all apart, now?
Why would...

She said, I was seven and wewe were nine
I looked at wewe like the stars that shined
In the sky, the pretty lights
And our daddies used to joke about the two of us
Growing up and falling in upendo and our mamas smiled
And rolled their eyes and alisema oh my my my

Take me back to the house in the backyard tree
Said you'd beat me up, wewe were bigger than me
You never did, wewe never did
Take me back when our world was one block wide
I dared wewe to kiss me and ran when wewe tried
Just two kids, wewe and I...
Oh my my my my

Well, I was sixteen when suddenly
I wasn't that little girl wewe used to see
But your eyes still...
