Lyrics
I went to New York ’cause a man in a suit told me, “You’re gonna be a star”
– Ngaya Enew York ngoba indoda eyayigqoke isudi yangitshela, ” Uzoba inkanyezi”
I said, “Yeah, I know,” but it came out like, “What, who, me?”
– Ngathi, “Yebo, ngiyazi,” kodwa kwaphuma ngokuthi, ” Yini, ngubani, mina?”
I took a walk on the beach, ’cause the guy doesn’t like me back
– Ngahamba ogwini, ngoba lo muntu akangithandi
Even though I’m gonna be a star, guess I don’t have it, guess I don’t have it after all
– Nakuba ngizoba inkanyezi, qagela ukuthi anginayo, qagela ukuthi anginayo nhlobo
But it’s okay, ’cause my life is so exciting
– Kodwa kulungile ,ngoba ukuphila kwami kuyathakazelisa kakhulu
Every night is like a party, ’cause I bit the bullet
– Njalo ebusuku kunjengomcimbi ,ngoba ngiluma inhlamvu
I’m finally watching Friends
– Ekugcineni Ngibuka Abangane
“What took me so long?”
– “Yini eyangithatha isikhathi eside kangaka?”
I say to no one, ’cause I’m alone all the time
– Angisho muntu, ngoba ngingedwa ngaso sonke isikhathi
But now I’m never lonely, not since I met Joey
– Kodwa manje angikaze ngibe nesizungu, hhayi kusukela ngahlangana Nojoey
But when I turn the lights off, Joey doesn’t hold me
– Kodwa lapho Ngicisha izibani, Ujoey akangibambi
And in my darkest moment, I wonder if I met him out at a bar
– Futhi ngesikhathi sami esimnyama kakhulu, ngiyazibuza ukuthi ngimhlangabeze yini endaweni yokudlela
If he’d seen me, a perfect star, wanna take me home for that reason only
– Uma ebengibona, inkanyezi ephelele, ufuna ukungithatha angiyise ekhaya ngenxa yalesi sizathu kuphela
‘Cause why else would you want me?
– Ngoba kungani ungangifuna?
I think I’ve got a fucked up face
– Ngicabanga ukuthi nginobuso obungathandeki
And that thought used to haunt me
– Futhi lowo mcabango wawungihlupha
‘Til it fell in its sweet embrace
– ‘Kwaze kwawa ekwamukeleni kwayo okumnandi
Now I don’t sweat the acne
– Manje angiyithukuthelisi induna
It’s a bitch, but it goes away
– Kuyisifebe, kodwa siyahamba
And who cares if I’m pretty?
– Futhi ubani onendaba uma ngimuhle?
I feel like I’m Phoebe
– Ngizizwa sengathi Ngingufebe
I feel like it totally works
– Nginomuzwa wokuthi kusebenza ngokuphelele
When the blue in my skirt doesn’t work with the blue in my top
– Lapho umbala oluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka esikhwameni sami ungasebenzi nombala oluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka phezulu
And if I tried to be her, it’d fall so flat, you’d feel badly
– Futhi uma ngizama ukuba nguye, bekuyowa phansi, ubuyozizwa kabi
And most of these days, I feel the dull ache
– Futhi iningi lalezi zinsuku, ngizwa ubuhlungu obungathandeki
But then I say, “Stop,” and then I feel great
– Kodwa-ke ngithi, “Yeka,” bese ngizizwa kahle
‘Cause it could be worse, I know, I know
– Ngoba kungaba kubi nakakhulu, ngiyazi, ngiyazi
Know it in the worst way
– Yazi ngendlela embi kakhulu
We rehearsed this, mm
– Saprakthiza lokhu, mm
Everything’s okay
– Konke kulungile
‘Cause my life is so enticing
– Ngoba ukuphila kwami kuyangikhanga
In the corner, eating icing
– Ekhoneni, ukudla iqhwa
It’s a birthday party, these people aren’t my friends
– Kuyiphathi yosuku lokuzalwa, laba bantu ababona abangane bami
I’m thinking “So long,” amidst their deep talk
– Ngicabanga ukuthi “so long,” phakathi kwenkulumo yabo ejulile
‘Bout someone they didn’t invite
– ‘Ngomuntu abangamemanga
But I’d rather be lonely, counted out and homely
– Kodwa ngincamela ukuba nesizungu, ngibale futhi ngibe nekhaya
I know that he’ll need me once he gets to know me
– Ngiyazi ukuthi uzongidinga uma esengazi
Wonder when I’ll meet him
– Ngiyazibuza ukuthi ngizohlangana nini naye
Wonder if he’s sitting there at a bar and if he likes ’em avant garde
– Uyazibuza ukuthi uhlezi lapho yini endaweni yokudlela nokuthi uyabathanda yini i-avant garde
Just what they told me
– Lokho nje abangitshela khona
‘Cause why else would you want me? (Want me, mm)
– Ngoba kungani ungangifuna? (Want me, mm)
I think I got a fucked up face (Oh)
– Ngicabanga ukuthi nginobuso obungathandeki (Oh)
And that thought used to haunt me (Haunt me)
– Futhi lowo mcabango wawungihlupha (ungihlupha)
‘Til I fell in its sweet embrace (Uh-huh)
– ‘Ngaze ngawela ekwamukeleni kwayo okumnandi (Uh-huh)
Now I don’t sweat the acne (No, woah)
– Manje angiyithukuthelisi induna (Cha, woah)
It’s a bitch, but it goes away (Oh)
– Kuyisifebe, kodwa siyahamba (Oh)
Who cares if I’m pretty?
– Ubani onendaba uma ngimuhle?
I feel like I’m Phoebe
– Ngizizwa sengathi Ngingufebe
I feel like a whole lot
– Ngizizwa nginingi
No, I’m good, thanks for asking
– Cha, ngiyabonga ngokubuza
That’d be awesome, but no worries if not
– Lokho kungaba kuhle, kodwa akukho ukukhathazeka uma kungenjalo
Best believe I can hack it
– Best believe I can hack it
Check it out, I made it this far
– It, ngakwenza kude kangaka
Had to dig deep inside me
– Kwakudingeka ngigubhe ngaphakathi kimi
‘TiI I found what I was looking for
– ‘TiI ngathola lokho engangikufuna
It was right there inside me (Ah)
– Kwakungaphakathi kimi (Ah)
It was beautiful, beautiful, beautiful (Beautiful)
– Kwakukuhle, kuhle, kuhle (Kuhle)
Why else would you want me? (Want me, want me) (Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful)
– Kungani ungangifuna? (Want me, want me) (Amahle, amahle, amahle)
I think I got a fucked up face (Gorgeous, amazing)
– I think I got a fucked up face (Langa, amazing)
And that thought used to haunt me (Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful)
– Futhi lowo mcabango wawungihlupha (Muhle, muhle, muhle)
‘Til I fell in it’s sweet embrace (Uh-huh)
– ‘Ngaze ngawela ku-It’ s sweet embrace (Uh-huh)
Now I don’t sweat the acne (No)
– Manje angiyithukuthelisi induna (Cha)
It’s a bitch, but it goes away (Yeah)
– Kuba bitch, kodwa uyahamba (Yebo)
Who cares if I’m pretty?
– Ubani onendaba uma ngimuhle?
I feel like I’m Phoebe
– Ngizizwa sengathi Ngingufebe
I feel like a whole lot
– Ngizizwa nginingi
Who cares if I’m pretty?
– Ubani onendaba uma ngimuhle?
I feel like I’m Phoebe
– Ngizizwa sengathi Ngingufebe
I feel like a whole lot
– Ngizizwa nginingi
Oh-oh
– Oh-oh
Uh, uh-uh
– Uh, uh-uh
