Amandla - Harry Belafonte

Taunting from the hill tops, just out of reach

Smiling pretty smiles, telling your white lies

Stringing me along on your sweet promises

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

It’s time to dance with me

Amandla, Amandla you’re hanging with the wrong crowd

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 dancin' in the distance, sayin' I’ll be free

Amandla, Amandla it’s time to change your partner

It’s time to dance with me

Amandla, Amandla you’re hanging with the wrong crowd

You need a change of scene

Amandla, Amandla don’t lose all your self-respect

You know just what I mean

You’re running with the fools,

You know I’m more your style

Driving me crazy with that someday smile

Amandla, Amandla dancin' in the distance, sayin' I’ll be free

Amandla, Amandla it’s time to change your partner

It’s time to dance with me

Amandla, Amandla you’re hanging with the wrong crowd

You need a change of scene

Amandla, Amandla don’t lose all your self-respect

You know just what I mean

You’re hanging with the wrong crowd

You need a change of scene

Don’t you lose your self-respect

You know just what I mean
