Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Iwe neni ngatidananei eh eh
(You and me let's love each other, yes)

Ini newe tisasiyane-e no oh
(Me and you shouldn't part ways, no)

You mad at me again
But it don't matter that I stayed with you

I could have gone
I could have walked away from this
But it don't matter that I stayed with you
Do you ever look at us and say
This is what you want
Nomatter what we are to face
You will fight for us
Cause I'm wondering yeah
Tell me am I alone?

Tell me what you want
Tell me what you need
I'll do anything for us
Cause I don't wanna
Don't wanna break away
I want you and I to work
Cause I don't wanna
Don't wanna break away

Iwe neni ngatidananei eh eh
(You and me let's love each other, yes)
I want you and I to work

Ini newe tisasiyane-e no oh
(Me and you shouldn't part ways, no)
I don't wanna break away

Iwe neni ngatidananei eh eh
(You and me let's love each other, yes)
I want you and I to work

Ini newe tisasiyane-e no oh
(Me and you shouldn't part ways, no)
I want us to work

Every time we fight baby
You bring up my past
Every little skeleton in the closet
That's all in the past
You and I need a solution
No need to be jumping into conclusions
Love is gotta be real
For you and I to feel
Baby girl not a delusion eh
Do you ever look at us and say
This is what you want
No matter what we are to face
Will you fight for us
Oh I wonder, am I alone?

Tell me what you want
Tell me what you need
I'll do anything for us
Cause I don't wanna
Don't wanna break away
I want you and I to work
Cause I don't wanna
Don't wanna break away

Tell me what you want
Tell me what you need
I'll do anything for us
Cause I don't wanna
Don't wanna break away
I want you and I to work
Cause I don't wanna
Don't wanna break away

Iwe neni ngatidananei eh eh
(You and me let's love each other, yes)
I want you and I to work

Ini newe tisasiyane-e no oh
