Mishka - All Jokes Aside lyrics

I didn't know how much I loved you, Until I had left. Society upon our shoulders, Is causing us to drift apart. Thought I was below or above you, I didn't know how to close the rift. Now that I really want to hold you, You might cry, please don't be deaf. I'm singing' (chorus) All jokes aside We've been taken for a ride. All jokes aside Ja love forever guide. 400 years down in (eye)Egypt, 400 years down in (huh?), 400 years we sat down and waited, By the rivers of Babylon. Under the shade of the Almighty, Under the wings of Ja we trust. Giving praises day and nightly, And thanks to the goodness of Ja love. (chorus) Oh, why e why, Oh, why e why, Oh why e why, We've been taken for ride.>
