Swahililand - Ahmad Jamal

You called me by her name again

Thinking I was her again

When's this ever gonna end

You're living somewhere in the past

Missing love that didn't last and

What we have is fading fast

And this ain't 1999

This is here and now you are mine

But you're cheatin' on me

You're cheatin' on us

You're cheatin' yourself right out of love

You're slipping away from me unconsciously

And I'm losing you to some old memory

You're haunted by that ghost in you

She always gets the most of you

Just want to be that close to you

And this ain't 1999

This is here and now you are mine

But you're cheatin' on me you're cheatin' on us

You're cheatin' yourself right out of love

You're slipping away from me unconsciously

And I'm losing you to some old memory

I can't figure out what's wrong

I can't change your mind

But the only thing I know

Is that I'm being left behind

I'm being left behind

This ain't 1999 this is here and now you are mine

But you're cheatin' on me

You're cheatin' on us

You're cheatin' yourself right out of love

You're slipping away from me unconsciously

And I'm losing you to some old memory

This ain't 1999

This ain't 1999
