"Wona" lyrics
(feat. Baaba Maal, The Very Best & Beatenberg)
You don't wanna turn away this time
Then why don't you take a different line
Don't have to be cruel to be kind
You don't have to lose your mind
You don't wanna suffer for your art
You don't wanna vivisect your heart
And then if you're falling apart
You're probably trying too hard
In the dawning light I found you breathless
But I won't deny I love you helpless
[Baaba Maal]
You don't wanna say what you don't mean
You still want to paint a vivid scene
You hide in the wings with a lamp
And cast the shadows on a screen
You don't wanna sing what you can say
Well that's quite a hard game to play
But I have fallen for your ways
In spite of myself I don't want you to change
But in the dawning light I found you breathless
But I won't deny I love you helpless
[Baaba Maal]
In the dawning light I found you breathless
But I won't deny I love you helpless
And I will be yours
And you will be mine
And I will be yours
And you will be mine
Then why don't you take a different line
Don't have to be cruel to be kind
You don't have to lose your mind
You don't wanna suffer for your art
You don't wanna vivisect your heart
And then if you're falling apart
You're probably trying too hard
In the dawning light I found you breathless
But I won't deny I love you helpless
[Baaba Maal]
You don't wanna say what you don't mean
You still want to paint a vivid scene
You hide in the wings with a lamp
And cast the shadows on a screen
You don't wanna sing what you can say
Well that's quite a hard game to play
But I have fallen for your ways
In spite of myself I don't want you to change
But in the dawning light I found you breathless
But I won't deny I love you helpless
[Baaba Maal]
In the dawning light I found you breathless
But I won't deny I love you helpless
And I will be yours
And you will be mine
And I will be yours
And you will be mine
