You, with your words like knives
And swords and weapons that wewe use against me
wewe have knocked me off my feet again
Got me feeling like I'm nothing
You, with your voice like nails on a chalkboard
Calling me out when I'm wounded
wewe picking on the weaker man
wewe can take me down with just one single blow
But wewe don't know, what wewe don't know...
Someday I'll be living in a big ol' city
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Someday I'll be big enough so wewe can't hit me
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Why wewe gotta be so mean?
You, with your switching sides
And your wildfire lies and your humiliation
wewe have pointed out my flaws again
As if I don't already see them
I walk with my head down
Trying to block wewe out 'cause I'll never impress you
I just wanna feel okay again
I bet wewe got pushed around
Somebody made wewe cold
But the cycle ends right now
'Cause wewe can't lead me down that road
And wewe don't know, what wewe don't know...
Someday I'll be living in a big ol' city
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Someday I'll be big enough so wewe can't hit me
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Why wewe gotta be so mean?
And I can see wewe years from now in a bar
Talking over a football game
With that same big loud opinion
But nobody's listening
Washed up and ranting about the same old uchungu, chungu things
Drunk and grumbling on about how I can't sing
But all wewe are is mean
All wewe are is mean
And a liar, and pathetic, and alone in life
And mean, and mean, and mean, and mean
But someday I'll be living in a big ol' city
And all you're ever gonna be is mean, yeah
Someday I'll be big enough so wewe can't hit me
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Why wewe gotta be so?..
Someday I'll be living in a big ol' city (Why wewe gotta be so?..)
And all you're ever gonna be is mean (Why wewe gotta be so?..)
Someday I'll be big enough so wewe can't hit me (Why wewe gotta be so?..)
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Why wewe gotta be so mean?
And swords and weapons that wewe use against me
wewe have knocked me off my feet again
Got me feeling like I'm nothing
You, with your voice like nails on a chalkboard
Calling me out when I'm wounded
wewe picking on the weaker man
wewe can take me down with just one single blow
But wewe don't know, what wewe don't know...
Someday I'll be living in a big ol' city
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Someday I'll be big enough so wewe can't hit me
And all you're ever gonna be is mean

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
