Cupid's Chokehold / Breakfast in America Lyrics

[00:00.01] Mbabarara, mbabarara
[00:03.01] Mbabarara, mbabarara, mbabarara
[00:06.48] Take a look at my girlfriend
[00:09.00] She's the only one I got (mbabarara)
[00:12.45] Not much of a girlfriend
[00:14.95] I never seem to get a lot (mbabarara, mbabarara)
[00:18.55] It's been some time since we last spoke
[00:20.55] This is gonna sound like a bad joke (bad joke)
[00:23.48] But mama, I fell in love again
[00:26.42] It's safe to say I have a new girlfriend
[00:30.82] And I know it sounds so old
[00:32.93] But Cupid got me in a chokehold (chokehold)
[00:35.98] And I'm afraid I might give in
[00:38.33] Towel's on the mat, my white flag is wavin' (mbabarara)
[00:42.70] I mean, she even cooks me pancakes and Alka-Seltzer when my tummy aches
[00:47.62] If that ain't love then I don't know what love is
[00:54.83] We even got a secret handshake and she loves the music that my band makes
[00:59.88] I know I'm young, but if I had to choose her or the sun
[01:03.57] I'd be one nocturnal son of a gun (mbabarara, mbabarara)
[01:07.25] Take a look at my girlfriend
[01:09.89] She's the only one I got (mbabarara)
[01:13.23] Not much of a girlfriend
[01:15.88] I never seem to get a lot (mbabarara, mbabarara)
[01:19.36] Take a look at my girlfriend
[01:21.86] She's the only one I got (mbabarara)
[01:25.33] Not much of a girlfriend
[01:27.85] I never seem to get a lot (mbabarara, mbabarara)
[01:31.44] It's been a while since we talked last and I'm tryin' hard not to talk fast
[01:36.00] But dad, I'm finally thinkin' I may have found the one
[01:39.26] Type of girl that'll make you way proud of your son
[01:43.67] And I know you heard the last song about the girls that didn't last long
[01:48.21] But I promise this is on a whole new plane
[01:51.48] I can tell by the way she says my name (mbabarara)
[01:55.75] I love it when she calls my phone, she even got her very own ringtone
[02:00.41] If that ain't love then I don't know what love is (mbabarara)
[02:07.83] It's gonna be a long drive home but I know as soon as I arrive home
[02:12.61] And I open the door, take off my coat and throw my bag on the floor
[02:16.37] She'll be back into my arms once more for sure, like
[02:21.57]
[02:29.69] Take a look at my girlfriend
[02:32.30] She's the only one I got (mbabarara)
[02:35.69] Not much of a girlfriend
[02:38.12] I never seem to get a lot (mbabarara, mbabarara)
[02:43.23]
[02:53.73] She's got a smile that'll make the most senile annoying old man bite his tongue
[02:58.48] (I'm not done)
[02:59.95] She's got eyes comparable to sunrise and it doesn't stop there (man I swear)
[03:05.54] She's got porcelain skin, of course she's a ten
[03:08.30] And now she's even got her own song (but movin' on)
[03:11.39] She's got the cutest laugh I ever heard
[03:13.42] And we can be on the phone for three hours (not sayin' one word)
[03:17.48] And I would still cherish every moment
[03:19.75] And when I start to build my future she's the main component
[03:22.72] Call it dumb, call it luck, call it love or whatever you call it, but
[03:26.81] Everywhere I go I keep her picture in my wallet like, yeah
[03:30.52] Take a look at my girlfriend
[03:32.99] She's the only one I got (mbabarara)
[03:36.37] Not much of a girlfriend
[03:38.85] I never seem to get a lot (mbabarara, mbabarara)
[03:42.54] Take a look at my girlfriend
[03:45.01] She's the only one I got (mbabarara)
[03:48.45] Not much of a girlfriend
[03:51.00] I never seem to get a lot (mbabarara, mbabarara)
[03:53.81]
