Biography

Goapele (pronounced gwa-puh-LAY) means “to move forward” in Setswana, a South African dialect. Goapele Mohlabane started singing as a child, and at age 14 she joined the Oakland Youth Chorus. After high school, she decided to pursue music as a professional career and enrolled in the Berkley College of Music in Boston. After that, she worked with San Francisco musicians and artists, then went on to record on both east and west coasts of the United States to record her self-released debut album, [i]Closer[/I]. After this release, she formed Skyblaze Recordings with her brother Namane to oversee her musical career. Her first nationally distributed album, [i]Even Closer[/I], an expanded version of her debut album, was initially released through [l=Hieroglyphics Imperium] until [l=Columbia] picked her album up for worldwide distribution and signed her to a recording contract. [i]Even Closer[/I] was rereleased with extra tracks, and, in 2005, her second album, [i]Change it All[/I] was released, focusing on the activism in which she had been involved since she was a child.

LYRICS

[intro]
Oooooh, ooh, oh
Oooooh, ooh, oh
[verse 1]
Kiss my wounds
Love me tender
Buy me flowers I've never seen
Wake me up from my dreams
To bring me french toast and tea
In the morning light
Fly across country to spend
The night
You said you'd steer a boat across the atlantic

[chorus]
Cuz you're so fucking romantic
I can't stand
It
When I look in your eyes
Unconditionalness sweetness uncompromised
You set the standard for many things
I wasn't sure what it would (?) bring
You're so fucking romantic

[verse 2]
Other men wouldn't call
Just to say "I love you
Take your time
But I miss you
Is it okay
If i see you
I'll kiss you everywhere anywhere"
Damn sure, me
Please let this moment be
You're always tempting me

[chorus]

Cuz you're so fucking romantic

[chorus]

[verse 3]
We say the same words
At the same time
I start a sentence
You finish mine
Laugh at my jokes when i wanna cry
And when I feel lost
I look in your eyes
Even in front of your boys
You wouldn't lie
You say
"I gotta see my baby tonight"

[chorus 2x]

Cuz you're so fucking romantic
Kiss me 'til I'm frantic
