lyrics

Chorus
My heart is telling me you are the only one girl! My heart is telling me you are the only one girl!
My heart can’t lie to me, my heart will never tell a lie

Verse 1
It was on a Saturday when I saw you walking alongside your mother each carrying a kiondo (an African hand woven handbag)
I was busy in my father’s garden cutting nappier grass for his cattle
I stared at you until you went out of my eyesight
I was itched by stinging nettle and accidentally chopped off my finger.

Chorus
My heart is telling me you are the only one girl! My heart is telling me you are the only one girl!
My heart can’t lie to me, my heart will never tell a lie

Verse 2
I would hide in the bush and wait till late. I would then watch you going to the river to fetch water in your African pot
Mosquitoes would bite me severely and would at time persevere the heavy rains.
But I am so privileged that I found you my love
I want to marry you and be my loving wife
My heart can’t lie to me, my heart will never tell a lie

Chorus
My heart is telling me you are the only one girl! My heart is telling me you are the only one girl!
My heart can’t lie to me, my heart will never tell a lie

Verse 3
Every time I see you talking to another man I feel so disturbed
Every time I see you talking to another man I feel so disturbed
Every time I see you talking to another man I feel so jealous
Every time I see you talking to another man I feel so jealous
I feel Kiwaru, I feel Kiwaru, I feel Kiwaru,
(kiwaru is a Kikuyu word which means a big potatoe. It’s used to express great pain whereby one feels as if there is a big item in your throat).

Chorus
My heart is telling me you are the only one girl! My heart is telling me you are the only one girl!
My heart can’t lie to me, my heart will never tell a lie

My heart can’t lie to me, my heart will never tell a lie
My heart can’t lie to me, my heart will never tell a lie
I feel Kiwaru, I feel Kiwaru, I feel Kiwaru,
