Harry Belafonte - "AMANDLA" lyrics

Taunting from the hill tops, just out of reach
Stringing me along on your sweet promises
Smiling pretty smiles, telling your white lies

Humi you sure know how to Tantalize
You give yourself to those who don’t deserve you
You go where you are not supposed to be
I know someday that I am going to have you
Someday you’ll have to give yourself to me
Amandla, Amandla dancin’ in the distance, sayin’ I’ll be free

Amandla, Amandla it’s time to change your partner
Amandla, Amandla you’re hanging with the wrong crowd
It’s time to dance with me
You need a change of scene
Amandla, Amandla don’t lose all your self-respect
You know just what I mean

Standin’ on Commissioner street, in the pouring rain
Tappin’ my toe, tappin’ my toe
This time I was so sure that you would be here
But once again you decided not to show

Amandla, Amandla it’s time to change your partner
Amandla, Amandla dancin’ in the distance, sayin’ I’ll be free
It’s time to dance with me
You need a change of scene
