Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hou vas, jy weet dis klaar te laat, ons het, ons het te veel gepraat, en nou
Is die aap uit die mou, jy weet dis alles net oor jou

Ek kan weer en weer en weer dit vir jou sê
Hoe lief ek jou het maar ek weet nie of dit ons dié keer gaan red

Want jy draai al weer my arm en jy maak net wat jy wil
'n Duisend redes om saam te wees maar net een maak die verskil

In liefde moet ons vat en gee maar my hart se bank raak leeg
Is dit te veel gevra om net 'n stukkie van jou, 'n stukkie van jou te deel?

Staan stil, jy hardloop altyd weg, dis nooit, dis nooit die tyd of plek
Dink jy, dink jy dit sal uitwerk, sê my of voel jy nog so sperk?

Ek kan weer en weer en weer dit vir jou sê
Hoe lief ek jou het maar ek weet nie of dit ons dié keer gaan red

Want jy draai al weer my arm en jy maak net wat jy wil
'n Duisend redes om saam te wees maar net een maak die verskil
In liefde moet ons vat en gee maar my hart se bank raak leeg
Is dit te veel gevra om net 'n stukkie van jou, 'n stukkie van jou te deel?

'n Stukkie van jou te deel?

Want jy draai al weer my arm en jy maak net wat jy wil
'n Duisend redes om saam te wees maar net een maak die verskil
In liefde moet ons vat en gee maar my hart se bank raak leeg
Is dit te veel gevra om net 'n stukkie van jou, 'n stukkie van jou te deel?

'n Stukkie van jou te deel

('n Stukkie van jou, 'n stukkie van jou)
'n Stukkie van jou, 'n stukkie van jou te deel
