Mandinka
Sinéad O'Connor
--------------------------------

I'm dancing the seven veils,
Want you to pick up my scarves.
See how the black moon fades;
Soon I can give you my heart.

Ooh, ah hah
Ee-hee

I don't know no shame
I think I'm playin' a game;
See the flame

But I do know Mandinka.
I do know Mandinka.
I do know Mandinka.
I do, oooo.

They're throwing it all this way,
Draggin' it back to the start.
And they say, "See how the glass is raised?"
I have refused to take part.
I told them, "Drink something new.
Please let me pull somethin' through."

I don't know no shame
I think I'm playin' a game;
I don't know no shame
I think I'm playin' a game;
See the flame

But I do know Mandinka.
I do know Mandinka.
I do know Mandinka.
I do, oooo.

I do, oo, oh, oh, oh, oh oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I do, oo, oh, oh, oh, oh oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I said I do.
(Soon I can give you my heart)
I swear I do.
(Soon I can give you my heart)
I do, Mandinka.
(Soon I can give you my heart)
(Soon I can give you my heart)
(Soon I can give you my heart)
