Chamakay Lyrics
[Verse 1: Blood Orange & Both]
If givin' left me lonely
If givin' was my friend
I'd keep in all the old themes
I'd keep in all the sense
But now you're feeling empty
I tried my best last time
I'll leave you with your feelings
I'll leave you in your lies
[Verse 2: Blood Orange]
I'm nothing without subtle
Heartache at it's best
Are you the one who breaks my
Heart out of my chest
[Chorus: Both & Caroline Polachek]
I'll never leave you if you're thinking that it's all the same
I'll never trust you if you're thinking that it's just a game
I see you're waiting for a guy/girl like me to come along
(Come along, to come along)
Baby girl, you're wrong
I'll never leave you if you're thinking that it's all the same
I'll never trust you if you're thinking that it's just a game
I see you're waiting for a guy/girl like me to come along
(To come along, to come along, to come along)
Baby girl, you're wrong
[Verse 1: Blood Orange & Caroline Polachek]
If givin' left me lonely
If givin' was my friend
(Givin' was my friend)
I'd keep in all the old themes
(Keep in all the old themes)
I'd keep in all the sense
(Sense)
But now you're feeling empty
(Now you're feeling empty)
I tried my best last time
(Tried my best this time)
I'll leave you with your feelings
(I'll leave you in your lies)
I'll leave you with your lies
[Chorus: Both & Caroline Polachek]
I'll never leave you if you're thinking that it's all the same
I'll never trust you if you're thinking that it's just a game
I see you're waiting for a guy/girl like me to come along
Baby girl, you're wrong
I'll never leave you if you're thinking that it's all the same
I'll never trust you if you're thinking that it's just a game
I see you're waiting for a guy/girl like me to come along
(Come along, to come along, to come along...)
Baby girl, you're wrong
[Outro: Both & Caroline Polachek]
(Come along, come along, to come along)
Come along, come along, to come along
(Come along, come along, to come along)
(Come along, come along, to come along)

What does Chamakay mean?
“Chamalkay” is an old Guyanese slang word. It means a ‘young mischievous girl’. It’s not derogatory but it isn’t over complimentary either. It was probably a word I just googled one day and the song kind of played into the feel of that.
