Lirieke
She’s me, I’m her in a different font
– Sy is ek, ek is haar in’n ander lettertipe
Just a few years younger, a new haircut
– Net’n paar jaar jonger, ‘n nuwe kapsel
Very Leo of you with your Scorpio touch
– Baie Leeu van jou met Jou Skerpioen-aanraking
Now, now
– Nou, nou
Going down on her on your vintage rug
– Gaan af op haar op jou vintage mat
Bet she’s so impressed by your Basquiat
– Wed sy is so beïndruk deur jou Basquiat
And she thinks you’re deep in the ways you’re not
– En sy dink jy is diep in die maniere waarop jy nie is nie
Now, now
– Nou, nou
I can’t put it on her, she’s a sweet kid
– Ek kan dit nie op haar sit nie, sy is’n lieflike kind
But she’s taking the bait like we all did
– Maar sy is die aas soos ons almal gedoen het
She looks
– Sy lyk
Like all of your girls but blonder
– Soos al jou meisies, maar blonder
A little like me, just younger
– ‘n bietjie soos ek, net jonger
Bet she loves when she hears you say
– Bet sy is lief vir wanneer sy hoor jy sê
“You’re so mature for your age, babe”
– “Jy is so volwasse vir jou ouderdom, babe”
She looks
– Sy lyk
Like she could be your daughter
– Soos sy jou dogter kan wees
Like me before I got smarter
– Soos ek voordat ek slimmer geword het
When I was flattered to hear you say
– Toe ek gevlei was om jou te hoor sê
“You’re so mature for your age, babe,” oh
– “Jy is so volwasse vir jou ouderdom, babe,” oh
You dim all the lights so you look real wise
– Jy verdof al die ligte sodat jy regtig wys lyk
As they trace the lines underneath your eyes
– Terwyl hulle die lyne onder jou oë volg
And mistake your charm for a cosmic sign
– En verwar jou sjarme vir’n kosmiese teken
Now, now
– Nou, nou
I can’t put it on them, it’s his best trick
– Ek kan dit nie op hulle sit nie, dit is sy beste truuk
And they’re taking the bait just like I did
– En hulle vang die aas net soos ek gedoen het
She looks
– Sy lyk
Like all of your girls but blonder
– Soos al jou meisies, maar blonder
A little like me, just younger
– ‘n bietjie soos ek, net jonger
Bet she loves when she hears you say
– Bet sy is lief vir wanneer sy hoor jy sê
“You’re so mature for your age, babe”
– “Jy is so volwasse vir jou ouderdom, babe”
She looks
– Sy lyk
Like she could be your daughter
– Soos sy jou dogter kan wees
Like me before I got smarter
– Soos ek voordat ek slimmer geword het
When I was flattered to hear you say
– Toe ek gevlei was om jou te hoor sê
“You’re so mature for your age, babe”
– “Jy is so volwasse vir jou ouderdom, babe”
Watched the tide rise up as high as you got on me
– Kyk hoe die gety styg so hoog soos jy op my kom
Listening to Strawberry Letter 23
– Luister Na Aarbei Brief 23
Hid my car at Carbon Beach so I wasn’t seen at yours
– Het my motor by Carbon Beach weggesteek sodat ek nie by joune gesien is nie
You knew better of course
– Jy het natuurlik beter geweet
Oh, you’re so mature
– O, jy is so volwasse
You’re so mature
– Jy is so volwasse
Oh
– O, ek het
She looks
– Sy lyk
Like all of your girls but blonder
– Soos al jou meisies, maar blonder
A little like me, just younger
– ‘n bietjie soos ek, net jonger
Bet she loves when she hears you say

“You’re so mature for your age, babe”
