Ividyo Kliphu
Lyrics
She’s me, I’m her in a different font
– Nginguye, nginguye ngefonti ehlukile
Just a few years younger, a new haircut
– Eminyakeni embalwa nje emncane, ukugunda izinwele okusha
Very Leo of you with your Scorpio touch
– Uleo kakhulu ngawe Nge Scorpio yakho touch
Now, now
– Manje, manje
Going down on her on your vintage rug
– Ukuya phansi kuye kukhaphethi wakho omdala
Bet she’s so impressed by your Basquiat
– Ukubheja uhlabeke umxhwele Kakhulu Ngesibasquiat sakho
And she thinks you’re deep in the ways you’re not
– Futhi ucabanga ukuthi ujule ngezindlela ongekho ngazo
Now, now
– Manje, manje
I can’t put it on her, she’s a sweet kid
– Angikwazi ukukubeka kuye, uyingane emnandi
But she’s taking the bait like we all did
– Kodwa uthatha isicupho njengoba sonke senza
She looks
– Ubukeka
Like all of your girls but blonder
– Njengabo bonke amantombazane akho kodwa blonder
A little like me, just younger
– Ngifana nami kancane, ngisemncane nje
Bet she loves when she hears you say
– Ukubheja uyakuthanda lapho ezwa uthi
“You’re so mature for your age, babe”
– “Uvuthiwe kakhulu ngeminyaka yakho, babe”
She looks
– Ubukeka
Like she could be your daughter
– Njengoba nje ayengase abe indodakazi yakho
Like me before I got smarter
– Njengami ngaphambi kokuba ngibe ohlakaniphe kakhudlwana
When I was flattered to hear you say
– Lapho ngithokoza ukuzwa uthi
“You’re so mature for your age, babe,” oh
– “Uvuthiwe kakhulu ngeminyaka yakho, babe,” oh
You dim all the lights so you look real wise
– Wena dim zonke izibani ukuze ubukeke ehlakaniphile ngempela
As they trace the lines underneath your eyes
– Njengoba zilandelela imigqa engaphansi kwamehlo akho
And mistake your charm for a cosmic sign
– Futhi uphambanise ubuhle bakho nesibonakaliso sendawo yonke
Now, now
– Manje, manje
I can’t put it on them, it’s his best trick
– Angikwazi ukuwafaka, kuwumkhonyovu wakhe omuhle kakhulu
And they’re taking the bait just like I did
– Futhi bathatha isicupho njengoba nje nami ngenza
She looks
– Ubukeka
Like all of your girls but blonder
– Njengabo bonke amantombazane akho kodwa blonder
A little like me, just younger
– Ngifana nami kancane, ngisemncane nje
Bet she loves when she hears you say
– Ukubheja uyakuthanda lapho ezwa uthi
“You’re so mature for your age, babe”
– “Uvuthiwe kakhulu ngeminyaka yakho, babe”
She looks
– Ubukeka
Like she could be your daughter
– Njengoba nje ayengase abe indodakazi yakho
Like me before I got smarter
– Njengami ngaphambi kokuba ngibe ohlakaniphe kakhudlwana
When I was flattered to hear you say
– Lapho ngithokoza ukuzwa uthi
“You’re so mature for your age, babe”
– “Uvuthiwe kakhulu ngeminyaka yakho, babe”
Watched the tide rise up as high as you got on me
– Wabuka amagagasi enyuka aze afike kimi
Listening to Strawberry Letter 23
– Ukulalela Strawberry Incwadi 23
Hid my car at Carbon Beach so I wasn’t seen at yours
– Ngafihla imoto yami Ecarbon Beach ngakho angibonwanga eyakho
You knew better of course
– Yiqiniso ubukwazi kangcono
Oh, you’re so mature
– Oh, uvuthiwe kangaka
You’re so mature
– Uvuthiwe kakhulu
Oh
– Oh
She looks
– Ubukeka
Like all of your girls but blonder
– Njengabo bonke amantombazane akho kodwa blonder
A little like me, just younger
– Ngifana nami kancane, ngisemncane nje
Bet she loves when she hears you say
– Ukubheja uyakuthanda lapho ezwa uthi
“You’re so mature for your age, babe”
– “Uvuthiwe kakhulu ngeminyaka yakho, babe”
She looks (She looks)
– Ubukeka (Ubukeka)
Like she could be your daughter
– Njengoba nje ayengase abe indodakazi yakho
Like me before I got smarter
– Njengami ngaphambi kokuba ngibe ohlakaniphe kakhudlwana
When I was flattered to hear you say
– Lapho ngithokoza ukuzwa uthi
