[Chorus]
Ngabe iqiniso yini?
(Ngabe iqiniso yini?)
Angifun’ ukuzwa ngabantu
Ngabe iqiniso yini?
(Ngabe iqiniso yini?)
Angifun’ ukuzwa ngabantu
Njengoba ngik'buza
Ngifun’ ukuzw' uvuma
'Yebo, baby I did you wrong'
Njengoba ngik'buza nje
Ngifun’ ukuzw' uvuma
'Yebo, baby I did you wrong'
[Verse 1]
Train wreck when you broke my heart
I knew the truth but it hit me hard
In my head I went 'What the fuck?'
Why we gotta take it this far?
Click, click, I pull out the gun
You broke my heart you son of a gun
In my head I am so far gone
Baby I’m a woman scorned
[Chorus]
Ngabe iqiniso yini?
(Ngabe iqiniso yini?)
Angifun’ ukuzwa ngabantu
Ngabe iqiniso yini?
(Ngabe iqiniso yini?)
Angifun’ ukuzwa ngabantu
Njengoba ngik'buza
Ngifun’ ukuzw' uvuma
'Yebo, baby I did you wrong'
Njengoba ngik'buza nje
Ngifun’ ukuzw' uvuma
'Yebo, baby I did you wrong'
[Verse 2]
Look at me, look at what you've done
I guess you say that it ain’t your fault
You're just sorry that you got caught
Why you gotta do me so wrong?
It’s even harder to forgive
I'm barely winged, got nothing to give
All he does is lie and deceit
Why we gotta take it this far?
[Chorus]
Ngabe iqiniso yini?
(Ngabe iqiniso yini?)
Angifun’ ukuzwa ngabantu
Ngabe iqiniso yini?
(Ngabe iqiniso yini?)
Angifun’ ukuzwa ngabantu
Njengoba ngik'buza
Ngifun’ ukuzw' uvuma
'Yebo, baby I did you wrong'
Njengoba ngik'buza nje
Ngifun’ ukuzw' uvuma
'Yebo, baby I did you wrong'
