Cupid's Chokehold / Breakfast in America
Mbabarara, mbabarara
Mbabarara, mbabarara, mbabarara
Take a look at my girlfriend
She's the only one I got (mbabarara)
Not much of a girlfriend
I never seem to get a lot (mbabarara, mbabarara)
It's been some time since we last spoke
This is gonna sound like a bad joke (bad joke)
But mama, I fell in love again
It's safe to say I have a new girlfriend
And I know it sounds so old
But Cupid got me in a chokehold (chokehold)
And I'm afraid I might give in
Towel's on the mat, my white flag is wavin' (mbabarara)
I mean, she even cooks me pancakes and Alka-Seltzer when my tummy aches
If that ain't love, then I don't know what love is
We even got a secret handshake, and she loves the music that my band makes
I know I'm young, but if I had to choose her or the sun
I'd be one nocturnal son of a gun (mbabarara, mbabarara)
Take a look at my girlfriend (girlfriend)
She's the only one I got (mbabarara)
Not much of a girlfriend (girlfriend)
I never seem to get a lot (mbabarara, mbabarara)
Take a look at my girlfriend (girlfriend)
She's the only one I got (mbabarara)
Not much of a girlfriend (girlfriend)
I never seem to get a lot (mbabarara, mbabarara)
It's been a while since we talked last, and I'm tryin' hard not to talk fast
But dad, I'm finally thinkin' I may have found the one
Type of girl that'll make you way proud of your son
And I know you heard the last song about the girls that didn't last long
But I promise this is on a whole new plane
I can tell by the way she says my name (mbabarara)
I love it when she calls my phone, she even got her very own ringtone
If that ain't love, then I don't know what love is (mbabarara)
It's gonna be a long drive home, but I know as soon as I arrive home
And I open the door, take off my coat and throw my bag on the floor
She'll be back into my arms once more for sure, like
Take a look at my girlfriend (girlfriend)
She's the only one I got (mbabarara)
Not much of a girlfriend (girlfriend)
I never seem to get a lot (mbabarara, mbabarara)
She's got a smile that'll make the most senile, annoying old man bite his tongue (I'm not done)
She's got eyes comparable to sunrise, and it doesn't stop there (man, I swear)
She's got porcelain skin, of course she's a ten
And now she's even got her own song (but movin' on)
She's got the cutest laugh I ever heard
And we can be on the phone for three hours (not sayin' one word)
And I would still cherish every moment
And when I start to build my future, she's the main component
Call it dumb, call it luck, call it love or whatever you call it, but
Everywhere I go, I keep her picture in my wallet like, yeah
Take a look at my girlfriend (girlfriend)
She's the only one I got (mbabarara)
Not much of a girlfriend (girlfriend)
I never seem to get a lot (mbabarara, mbabarara)
Take a look at my girlfriend (girlfriend)
She's the only one I got (mbabarara)
Not much of a girlfriend (girlfriend)
I never seem to get a lot (mbabarara, mbabarara)
Take a look at my girlfriend
Mbabarara, mbabarara, mbabarara
Take a look at my girlfriend
She's the only one I got (mbabarara)
