She always takes it with a
moyo of stone
‘Cause all she does is
Throws it back to me
I’ve spent a lifetime
Looking for someone
Don’t try to understand me
Just simply do the
Things I say

upendo is a feeling
Give it when I want it
‘Cause I’m on fire
Quench my desire
Give it when I want it
Talk to me woman
Give in to me
Give in to me

wewe always knew just how
To make me cry
And never did I ask you
maswali why
It seems wewe get your kicks
From hurting me
Don’t try to understand me
Because your words just
Aren’t enough

upendo is a feeling
Quench my desire
Give it when I want it
Takin’ me higher
upendo is a woman
I don’t wanna hear it
Give in to me
Give in to me

wewe and your Marafiki were
Laughing at me in town
But it’s ok
Yea it’s ok
wewe won’t be laughin’ girl
When I’m not around
I’ll be ok
And I
I’d never find
Gotta some peace of mind
No

Don’t try to tell me
Because your words
Just aren’t enough

upendo is a feeling
Quench my desire
Give it when I want it
Takin’ me higher
Talk to me woman
upendo is a feeling
Give in to me
Give in to me
Give in to me

Oh, upendo is a feeling
I don’t wanna hear it
Quench my desire
Takin’ me higher
Tell it to the preacher
Satisfy the feeling
Give in to me
Give in to me

I don’t wanna

I don’t wanna hear it
Give in to the fire
Talk to me woman
Quench my desire
Act like a lady
