about

written/produced/performed by tomas del toro diaz, greg scott, chris peck

bass guitar, "head stand" & "macaroon"- david whitten

lyrics

her name was kalimba and she broke my heart
she musta studied up her breakin, she was off the charts
lockin and poppin to the popular music
she could boogie by her self any way that she choose
didn't seem to give a care about attraction
focused on the funk, not no distractions
waitin on the sidelines, made up my mind:
"she's so fine, now's gotta be the time"

always remember, kalimba
had to get up, had to move on, she don't need no one
kalimba, i still remember

she had me over on a sunday afternoon
i had a coffee and she had a macaroon
knocked me out when she showed off her gemstones
talkin bout rose quartz, rappin like a metronome
& on her stereo she bumped Larry Graham
while she taught me how to do a headstand
afternoon turned to night, we hit the town
schooled me in the art of the surround sound boogiedown
too much for one day, out of my senses
you know the kind of love: no defenses
should of known she was wild, not the kind that you keep
but I remember Kalimba so sweet


you could be my bride, you could be the answer
Kalimba let your light shine, like no other dancer
bumpin like a soul star, watchin you glow
take you to the next bar, letting you know
you got the power! rock that body for hours!
at a time, you're a dime, you're always on my mind
but only in my mind, i take you on trips
different galaxies you spin me
always on my knees, beggin you to take me
take me by the soul, grippin every bone
too good to go, i'll never leave you alone

had to get up, had to move on, she don't need no one
