| She rises for work early each day
|
| She’s tough and she’s straight and her words never ricochet
|
| The wounds that you gave her she wears like a bouquet
|
| It’s crazy, joey, how she loves you come what may
|
| And though you have gone she defends you like a lion
|
| She says you’re just going through some kind of phase
|
| Strange talk of deserts, hong kong and red wine
|
| Of kissing the moon in some beat up old plane
|
| Joe-joe-joey don’t do it
|
| Don’t walk out into the night
|
| Mus' ukuthatha ngamawala awuthula-nje
|
| (don't fly off the handle, take it easy)
|
| Joe-joe-joey don’t do it
|
| Love can give you wings to fly
|
| Mus' ukuthatha ngamawala awuthula-nje
|
| (don't fly off the handle, take it easy)
|
| Joe-joe-joey don’t do it
|
| Awuthulanje
|
| She loves the dreamers, but not the schemers
|
| She loves the contradictions, but not the lies
|
| She says every home ever built was built on tears
|
| And she’s not scared of crying but she is of wasted years
|
| So she’ll wait like a ship anchored beyond the harbour
|
| And if there is no place to dock she’ll head for the sea
|
| And I don’t know if you know but there’s nothing much harder
|
| Than facing a part of yourself which you know might have been
|
| Joe-joe-joey don’t do it
|
| Don’t walk out into the night
|
| Mus' ukuthatha ngamawala awuthula-nje
|
| (don't fly off the handle, take it easy)
|
| Joe-joe-joey don’t do it
|
| It’ll be different in the morning light
|
| Mus' ukuthatha ngamawala awuthula-nje
|
| (don't fly off the handle, take it easy)
|
| Joe-joe-joey don’t do it
|
| Awuthulanje
|
| Just look around
|
| Do you know where you’re going
|
| Such a sad seed I see you sowing
|
| There is nothing to be found in the wind that’s blowing
|
| Just an empty sound, joey don’t do it
|
| Joe-joe-joey don’t do it
|
| Don’t walk out into the night
|
| Mus' ukuthatha ngamawala awuthula-nje
|
| (don't fly off the handle, take it easy)
|
| Joe-joe-joey don’t do it
|
| Love can give you wings to fly
|
| Mus' ukuthatha ngamawala awuthula-nje
|
| (don't fly off the handle, take it easy)
|
| Joe-joe-joey don’t do it
|
| Awuthula-nje |
