upendo Story
We were both young when I first saw you
I close my eyes and the flashback starts
I’m standing there
On a balcony of summer air
See the lights, see the party the ball gowns
See wewe make your way through the crowd and say hello
Little did I know…
That wewe were Romeo
wewe were throwing pebbles
My daddy alisema stay away from Juliet
And I was crying on the staircase
Begging wewe please don’t go
And I said
Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone
I’ll be waiting
All there’s left to do is run
wewe be the prince and I’ll be the princess
It’s a upendo story baby just say yes
And I said
Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone
I’ll be waiting
All there’s left to do is run
wewe be the prince and I’ll be the princess
It’s a upendo story baby just say yes
So I sneak out to the garden to see you
We keep quiet because we’re dead if they knew
So close your eyes
Escape this town for a little while
Coz wewe were Romeo I was a scarlet letter
My daddy alisema stay away from Juliet
But wewe were everything to me
I was begging wewe please don’t go
And I said
Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone
I’ll be waiting
All there’s left to do is run
wewe be the prince and I’ll be the princess
It’s a upendo story baby just say yes
Romeo save me
They’re trying to tell me how to feel
This upendo is difficult
But it’s real
Don’t be afraid we’ll make it out of this mess
It’s a upendo story Baby just say yes
I got tired of waiting
Wondering if wewe were ever coming around
My faith in wewe was fading
When I met wewe on the outskirts of town
And I said
Romeo save me
I’ve been feeling so alone
I keep waiting
For you
But wewe never come
Is this in my head?
I don’t know what you’re thinking
Knelt to the ground
And pulled out a ring and said
Marry me Juliet wewe never have to be alone
I upendo wewe and that’s all I really know
I talked to your dad go pick out a white dress
It’s a upendo story baby just say yes.
Coz we were both young when I first saw you.

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
