how are you, mzungo!?

sawa sawa, sababa: a song
by Rishik Menon

(Verse 1)
Youre not impressed with my repertoire
I think youve heard this all before
but I believe, if you don't leave
I'll know you just a little more!

so Im not the perfect guy
unromantic, kinda shy
but gimme time, I think you'll find
the loving youve been waiting for~

(Drums!)
(pre-chorus)
Maybe not this weekend...
at least
Tell me how your weeks been!

(Chorus)
youve got something to say
why don't you go make my day, with your laughter,
maybe banter bout the weather..

I can go on forever, not together
but if we feel all the better, then
why dont you let me know..
when youre ready to give this a go

(Verse 2)
I'm settling for nothing less
cause lifes too short, I want the best
of both worlds, friends and girls
benefits, the total mess

don't tell me its a bad idea
when on your tongue I taste no fear
just take a chance, on this romance
don't think too much, this aint a test

(pre-chorus)
if you got plans tomorrow...
Tonight
I'm not gonna let you go!

(Chorus)
Youve got something to say
why dont you go make my day, with your laughter,
maybe banter bout the weather

I can go on forever, not together
but if we feel all the better, then
why dont you let me know
when youre ready to give this a go.

You say its so hard to choose
But I've got nothing to lose, its your gamble
ain't an outcome I cant handle

I am ready to dance, this is all
in your hands, while the song's still on
don't wait for another show
if you want to give this a go

We can go one forever, not together
but with time, sooner or later
I might just meet somebody new,
and I won't be holding out for you
