Ividyo Kliphu
Lyrics
Ever since I was a little girl
– Kusukela ngiseyintombazanyana
I only wanted to be sexy
– Ngangifuna nje ukuba nomusa
Nine years old, tryna wax my legs with tape
– Lapho eneminyaka eyisishiyagalolunye ubudala, utryna wax imilenze yami nge-tape
There were some things only I can see
– Kwakunezinto ezithile kuphela engingazibona
A little spot that can’t be lifted
– Indawo encane engeke iphakanyiswe
On my left hand, dig in like a car key
– Ngakwesobunxele, gubha njengokhiye wemoto
So you see, I’ve been having a horrible time
– Ngakho uyabona, bengilokhu nginesikhathi esibi
Of late, I get none of your sympathy
– Muva nje, angitholi lutho oluzwelana nawe
But all of the pain hits and the fog lifts
– Kodwa zonke izinhlungu ziyashaya futhi inkungu iyaphakama
And then it’s too much for therapy
– Futhi-ke kuningi kakhulu ukwelashwa
Oh, baby, heed my solution
– Oh, baby, lalela isixazululo sami
And take a sexy picture
– Futhi uthathe isithombe esithandekayo
Take a sexy picture of me
– Thatha isithombe sexy kimi
And make me look sixteen
– Futhi ngenze ngibukeke ngineminyaka eyishumi nesithupha
Listen
– Lalela
I did the butcher, I did the baker
– Ngenza umbulali, ngenza umbhaki
I did the home and the family maker
– Ngenza ikhaya nomenzi womkhaya
I did school girl fantasies
– Ngenza amaphupho amantombazane esikole
Oh, I did leg things and hand stuff
– Oh, ngenza izinto zemilenze nezandla
And single woman banter
– Futhi owesifazane ongashadile uyahlekisa
Now tell me, what was in it for me?
– Manje ngitshele, yini eyayikuyo kimi?
Oh, I’ve been having a horrible time
– Oh, bengilokhu nginesikhathi esibi
Of late, I get none of your sympathy
– Muva nje, angitholi lutho oluzwelana nawe
But all of the pain hits and the fog lifts
– Kodwa zonke izinhlungu ziyashaya futhi inkungu iyaphakama
And then it’s too much for therapy
– Futhi-ke kuningi kakhulu ukwelashwa
Oh, baby, heed my solution
– Oh, baby, lalela isixazululo sami
And take a sexy picture
– Futhi uthathe isithombe esithandekayo
Take a sexy picture of me
– Thatha isithombe sexy kimi
And make me look fifteen
– Futhi ngenze ngibukeke ngineminyaka eyishumi nanhlanu
You haven’t looked at me the same
– Awungibheki ngendlela efanayo
Since I turned twenty-seven
– Kusukela ngaba neminyaka engamashumi amabili nesikhombisa
Where goes my potential?
– Iphi ikhono lami?
Oh, she’s up in Heaven
– Oh, usezulwini
Rest in peace to any chance of me
– Phumula ngokuthula kunoma yiliphi ithuba lami
Dating within the station
– Ukuqomisana ngaphakathi esiteshini
Ah-ah, ooh-ooh, ah-ah, ooh-ooh
– Ah-ah, ooh-ooh, ah-ah, ooh-ooh
And no doctor or Pope can grant diagnosis
– Futhi akekho udokotela Noma Upapa onganikeza ukuxilongwa
I’ve peeled through the forums
– Ngiye ngahlanza izinkundla
And there’s no cure for old sis
– Futhi alikho ikhambi le sis endala
But here’s a message to the party girls
– Kodwa nansi umyalezo oya emantombazaneni asemcimbini
Dragged out by their ankles
– Zidonswa ngamaqakala azo
I’m here if you need me, deep in your afters
– Ngilapha uma ungidinga, ngokujulile ngemva kwakho
Oh, I’ve been having a horrible time
– Oh, bengilokhu nginesikhathi esibi
Of late, I get none of your sympathy
– Muva nje, angitholi lutho oluzwelana nawe
But all of the pain hits and the fog lifts
– Kodwa zonke izinhlungu ziyashaya futhi inkungu iyaphakama
And then it’s too much for therapy
– Futhi-ke kuningi kakhulu ukwelashwa
Oh, baby, heed my solution
– Oh, baby, lalela isixazululo sami
And take a sexy picture
– Futhi uthathe isithombe esithandekayo
Take a sexy picture
– Thatha isithombe sexy
Can’t you see me wither?
– Awukwazi yini ukungibona ngibuna?
Take a sexy picture of me
– Thatha isithombe sexy kimi
And make me look fourteen, oh
– Futhi ngenze ngibukeke ngineminyaka eyishumi nane, oh
Or like ten, or like five
– Noma njengeshumi, noma njengezinhlanu
Or like two, like a baby
– Noma njengababili, njengengane
Whoever it is that you’re gonna love
– Noma ubani ozomthanda
So you’ll be nice to me
– Ngakho uyoba mnandi kimi
