Loving him is like driving a new Maserati down a dead-end street
Faster than the wind, passionate as sin ending so suddenly
Loving him is like trying to change your mind once you're already flying through the free fall
Like the colors in autumn, so bright just before they lose it all
Losing him was blue like I'd never known
Missing him was dark grey all alone
Forgetting him was like trying to know somebody wewe never met
But loving him was red
Loving him was red
Touching him was like realizing all wewe ever wanted was right there in front of you
Memorizing him was as easy as knowing all the words to your old inayopendelewa song
Fighting with him was like trying to solve a crossword and realizing there's no right answer
Regretting him was like wishing wewe never found out that upendo could be that strong
Losing him was blue like I'd never known
Missing him was dark gray all alone
Forgetting him was like trying to know somebody wewe never met
But loving him was red
Oh red
Burning red
Remembering him comes in flashbacks and echoes
Tell myself it's time now, gotta let go
But moving on from him is impossible
When I still see it all in my head
Burning red
Burning it was red
Oh losing him was blue like I'd never known
Missing him was dark gray all alone
Forgetting him was like trying to know somebody wewe never met
'Cause loving him was red
Yeah, yeah red
We're burning red
And that's why he's spinning 'round in my head
Comes back to me, burning red
Yeah, yeah
His upendo was like driving a new Maserati down a dead-end street
Faster than the wind, passionate as sin ending so suddenly
Loving him is like trying to change your mind once you're already flying through the free fall
Like the colors in autumn, so bright just before they lose it all
Losing him was blue like I'd never known
Missing him was dark grey all alone
Forgetting him was like trying to know somebody wewe never met
But loving him was red
Loving him was red
Touching him was like realizing all wewe ever wanted was right there in front of you
Memorizing him was as easy as knowing all the words to your old inayopendelewa song
Fighting with him was like trying to solve a crossword and realizing there's no right answer
Regretting him was like wishing wewe never found out that upendo could be that strong
Losing him was blue like I'd never known
Missing him was dark gray all alone
Forgetting him was like trying to know somebody wewe never met
But loving him was red
Oh red
Burning red
Remembering him comes in flashbacks and echoes
Tell myself it's time now, gotta let go
But moving on from him is impossible
When I still see it all in my head
Burning red
Burning it was red
Oh losing him was blue like I'd never known
Missing him was dark gray all alone
Forgetting him was like trying to know somebody wewe never met
'Cause loving him was red
Yeah, yeah red
We're burning red
And that's why he's spinning 'round in my head
Comes back to me, burning red
Yeah, yeah
His upendo was like driving a new Maserati down a dead-end street
I'd never gone with the wind
Just let it flow
Let it take me where it wants to go to
wewe open the door
There's so much more
I've never seen it before
Always trying to fly
But I couldn't find wings
But wewe came along and wewe changed everything
[Chorus:]
wewe lift my feet off the ground
wewe spin me around
wewe make me crazier, crazier
Feels like I'm falling and I am Lost in your eyes
wewe make me crazier, crazier, crazier
I've watched from a distance as wewe made life your own
Every sky was your own kind of blue
And I wanted to know how that would feel
And wewe made it so real
wewe showed me something that I couldn't see
wewe opened my eyes
And wewe made me believe
[Chorus]
Baby wewe showed me what living is for
I don't wanna hide anymore
Oh oh
wewe lift my feet off the ground
wewe spin me around
wewe make me crazier, crazier
Feels like I'm fallin' and I am Lost in your eyes
wewe make me crazier, crazier, crazier
Crazier, crazier, crazier
Just let it flow
Let it take me where it wants to go to
wewe open the door
There's so much more
I've never seen it before
Always trying to fly
But I couldn't find wings
But wewe came along and wewe changed everything
[Chorus:]
wewe lift my feet off the ground
wewe spin me around
wewe make me crazier, crazier
Feels like I'm falling and I am Lost in your eyes
wewe make me crazier, crazier, crazier
I've watched from a distance as wewe made life your own
Every sky was your own kind of blue
And I wanted to know how that would feel
And wewe made it so real
wewe showed me something that I couldn't see
wewe opened my eyes
And wewe made me believe
[Chorus]
Baby wewe showed me what living is for
I don't wanna hide anymore
Oh oh
wewe lift my feet off the ground
wewe spin me around
wewe make me crazier, crazier
Feels like I'm fallin' and I am Lost in your eyes
wewe make me crazier, crazier, crazier
Crazier, crazier, crazier
Seems the only one who doesn't see your beauty
Is the face in the mirror looking back at you
wewe walk around here thinking you're not pretty
But that's not true, cause I know you...
[Chorus:]
Hold on, baby, you're losing it
The water's high, you're jumping into it
And letting go... and no one knows
That wewe cry, but wewe don't tell anyone
That wewe might not be the golden one
And you're tied together with a smile
But you're coming undone
I guess it's true that upendo was all wewe wanted
Cause you're giving it away like it's extra change
Hoping it will end up in his pocket
But he leaves wewe out like a penny in the rain
Oh, cause it's not his price to pay
Not his price to pay...
[Repeat Chorus]
You're tied together with a smile
But you're coming undone... oh
Goodbye, baby
Goodbye, baby
With a smile, baby, baby
Is the face in the mirror looking back at you
wewe walk around here thinking you're not pretty
But that's not true, cause I know you...
[Chorus:]
Hold on, baby, you're losing it
The water's high, you're jumping into it
And letting go... and no one knows
That wewe cry, but wewe don't tell anyone
That wewe might not be the golden one
And you're tied together with a smile
But you're coming undone
I guess it's true that upendo was all wewe wanted
Cause you're giving it away like it's extra change
Hoping it will end up in his pocket
But he leaves wewe out like a penny in the rain
Oh, cause it's not his price to pay
Not his price to pay...
[Repeat Chorus]
You're tied together with a smile
But you're coming undone... oh
Goodbye, baby
Goodbye, baby
With a smile, baby, baby
