Elevator buttons and morning air
Strangers' silence makes me wanna take the stairs
If wewe were here we'd laugh about their vacant stares
But right now my time is theirs

Seems like there's always someone who disapproves
They'll judge it like they know about me and you
And the verdict comes from those with nothing else to do
The jury's out, but my choice is you

So don't wewe worry your pretty little mind
People throw rocks at things that shine
And life makes upendo look hard
The stakes are high, the water's rough
But this upendo is ours

wewe never know what people have up their sleeves
Ghosts from your past gonna jump out at me
Lurking in the shadows with their lip gloss smiles
But I don't care 'cause right now you're mine

And you'll say
Don't wewe worry your pretty little mind
People throw rocks at things that shine
And life makes upendo look hard
The stakes are high, the water's rough
But this upendo is ours

And it's not theirs to speculate
If it's wrong and
Your hands are tough
But they are where mine belong and
I'll fight their doubt and give wewe faith
With this song for you

'Cause I upendo the gap between your teeth
And I upendo the riddles that wewe speak
And any snide remarks from my father about your tojo will be ignored
'Cause my moyo is yours

So don't wewe worry your pretty little mind
People throw rocks at things that shine
And life makes upendo look hard
Don't wewe worry your pretty little mind
People throw rocks at things that shine
But they can't take what's ours
They can't take what's ours

The stakes are high, the water's rough
But this upendo is ours
