'k Zal Je Heb
Benny Neyman Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Maar jij niet bepaald van mij
Dat gebeurt misschien nog wel 'ns ooit
Ik heb van alles geprobeerd
Blijkbaar deed ik 't verkeerd
Maar op die manier lukt 't me nooit
Wacht jij maar af en hoe 'k krijg je nog wel
'k Zal, 'k zal je heb, 'k zal je krijg
Al duurt 't meer dan 40 jaar
'k Sta wel in de rij en wacht tot jij
Je nee verandert in 'n ja
Je geniet van al je sjans
Maar je geeft me nooit de kans
Om te tonen wat ik voor je voel
Ik heb van alles al gedaan
Maar je ziet me nooit niet staan
Waarom doe je toch zo kil, zo koel
Soms doe je af en toe mee aan m'n spel
Wacht jij maar af en hoe 'k krijg je nog wel
'k Zal, 'k zal je heb, 'k zal je krijg
Al duurt 't meer dan 40 jaar
'k Sta wel in de rij en wacht tot jij
Je nee verandert in 'n ja
'k Zal, 'k zal je heb, 'k zal je krijg
Al duurt 't wachten 80 jaar
'k Sta wel in de rij en wacht tot jij
Je nee verandert in 'n ja
