Johnny Clegg and Savuka - Joey Don't Do It lyrics

She rises for work early each day She's tough and she's straight and her words never ricochet The wounds that you gave her she wears like a bouquet It's crazy, joey, how she loves you come what may And though you have gone she defends you like a lion She says you're just going through some kind of phase Strange talk of deserts, hong kong and red wine Of kissing the moon in some beat up old plane Chorus Joe-joe-joey don't do it Don't walk out into the night Mus' ukuthatha ngamawala awuthula-nje (don't fly off the handle, take it easy) Joe-joe-joey don't do it Love can give you wings to fly Mus' ukuthatha ngamawala awuthula-nje (don't fly off the handle, take it easy) Joe-joe-joey don't do it Awuthulanje She loves the dreamers, but not the schemers She loves the contradictions, but not the lies She says every home ever built was built on tears And she's not scared of crying but she is of wasted years So she'll wait like a ship anchored beyond the harbour And if there is no place to dock she'll head for the sea And I don't know if you know but there's nothing much harder Than facing a part of yourself which you know might have been Chorus Joe-joe-joey don't do it Don't walk out into the night Mus' ukuthatha ngamawala awuthula-nje (don't fly off the handle, take it easy) Joe-joe-joey don't do it It'll be different in the morning light Mus' ukuthatha ngamawala awuthula-nje (don't fly off the handle, take it easy) Joe-joe-joey don't do it Awuthulanje Just look around Do you know where you're going Such a sad seed I see you sowing There is nothing to be found in the wind that's blowing Just an empty sound, joey don't do it Chorus Joe-joe-joey don't do it Don't walk out into the night Mus' ukuthatha ngamawala awuthula-nje (don't fly off the handle, take it easy) Joe-joe-joey don't do it Love can give you wings to fly Mus' ukuthatha ngamawala awuthula-nje (don't fly off the handle, take it easy) Joe-joe-joey don't do it Awuthula-nje
