A new name and the second album

Linda and Marie couldn't used the name Yaki-Da in Sweden. Jonas Berggren became very successful with Ace of Base and didn't have the time to write or produce the second album for Yaki-Da. Under the new name Y-D (pronounced why - dee) Linda and Marie recorded the second album.

Yaki-Da Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For another better world
You wouldn't leave
For the best of reasons
(repeat)
I wanna tell you that I do care
But I can't promise
At the moment I am doing
What I never thought I'd do
I see everything around me
Through your eyes
You may love me as an angel
Can you love me as a fool
Make it better together
You wouldn't leave
For another better world
You wouldn't leave
For the best of reasons
I wanna give you more than flowers
To give you something
Like a bridge up over time
So that we could be together
In a sunny better world
Take a short way to the kingdom of passion
It's like a promise of a new life
You will have me once again
When the night is all over
You wouldn't leave
For another better world
You wouldn't leave
For the best of reasons
I'm shaping up my life now
It turned me upside down
And it is odd to me you didn't
Leave me with the speed og light
I guess I'm looking like an angel
In your eyes
I wanna tell you that I love you
You wouldn't leave
For another better world
You wouldn't leave
For the best of reasons

That I never expected myself to do
I see everything around me
I perceive my surroundings

Through the perspective and understanding you provide
You may love me as an angel

It turned me upside down
It completely changed me, causing dramatic effects
And it is odd to me you didn't
I find it strange that you did not
Leave me with the speed of light
Abandon me swiftly and abruptly
I guess I'm looking like an angel
I assume I appear angelic or admirable
In your eyes
Based on your perception and opinion
I wanna tell you that I love you
I want to express my deep love and affection for you
