Taylor mwepesi, teleka - Brought Up That Way Lyrics

Emily comes nyumbani from school,
grabs onto her daddy's hand,
he says "baby girl what's wrong with you?"
she says "please don't make me go back there again"

She alisema "I wish there was some way
to make them stop it"
so he drives down to
that principles ofice and says

"I didn't bring her up
so they could cut her down
I didn't bring her here
so they could shut her out
I live my whole damn life
to see that little girl smile
so why are tears pouring down
that sweet face?
she wasn't brought up that way"

Emily's nyumbani late again
he sees that boy drive away
oh but something different...

FEARLESS:

There's somethin' 'bout the way
The mitaani, mtaa looks when it's just rained
Theres a glow off the pavement
Walk me to the car
And wewe know I wanna ask wewe to dance right there
In the middle of the parking lot
Yeah

We're drivin' down the road
I wonder if wewe know
I'm tryin' so hard not to get caught up now
But you're just so cool
Run your hands through your hair
Absent mindedly makin' me want you

And I don't know how it gets better than this
You take my hand and drag me head first
Fearless
And I don't know why but with wewe I'd dance
In a storm in my best dress
Fearless

So baby drive slow
Til we run out of road...

I'm so glad wewe made time to see me.
How's life, tell me how's your family?
I haven't seen them in a while.
You've been good, busier then ever.
We small talk, work and the weather
Your guard is up and I know why.

Cause the last time wewe saw me
Is still burned in the back of your mind.
You gave me roses and I left them there to die.

So this is me swallowing my pride,
Standing in front of wewe saying I'm sorry for that night,
And I go back to December all the time.
Turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you,
Wishing that I realized what I had when wewe were mine.
I'd go back to December, turn around...

I see your face in my mind as I drive away,
Cause none of us thought it was gonna end that way.
People are people,
And sometimes we change our minds.
But it's killing me to see wewe go after all this time.

Mmm mmm mmm
Mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm
Mmm mmm mmm
Mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm

Music starts playin' like the end of a sad movie,
It's the kinda ending wewe don't really wanna see.
Cause it's tragedy and it'll only bring wewe down,
Now I don't know what to be without wewe around.

And we know it's never simple,
Never easy.
Never a clean break, noone here to save me.
You're the only thing I know like the back...

Tim McGraw (Taylor mwepesi, teleka & Liz Rose) - "This song means so much to me, that's why we wanted it to be the first track on the album. The idea for this song came to me in math class. I just started imba to myself `When wewe think Tim McGraw.' The concept for this song hit me, because I was dating a guy who moved away, and it was going to be over for us. So I started thinking of things that I knew would remind him of me. The first thing that came to mind was that my inayopendelewa song is kwa Tim McGraw. After school, I went downtown, sat down at the piano, and wrote this with Liz Rose in fifteen...
