Lyrics

Final

Every time that you walk out on me
I regress back to the one that I can't see
He's someone I have never talked about
'Cause I know that we'd both be dead if you found out

Every time you tell me that I'm wrong
I just can't remember how to play along

There's something I have never told you
I'm not really from this world
There's something I have been withholding
I'm not like every other girl

Loha, loha, maihi, maihi
Yoha, yoho
Loha, loha, maihi, maihi
Yoha, yoho
You are the man of my dreams that I've waited for
You are the man of my dreams that I've waited for

So if you begin to think that my light might be supernatural
I'd have to say, "You're right. You're right, mon cher, it is."
I come from a place that your mind cannot even imagine
Where we sing, "Maha, mahaha, mahaha, maha."

Loha, loha, maihi, maihi
Yoha, yoho
Loha, loha, maihi, maihi
Yoha, yoho
You are the man of my dreams that I've waited for
You are the man of my dreams that I've waited for

Maha, oh, maha
Oh, maha, maha

I give my love, babe
I'm your devoted
I give my love, babe
I'm your devoted

Maha, maha, maha, maha
Maha, maha, maha

"Bollywood Hawaii" (Demo 1)

Every time you walk out on me
I regress back to the one that I can't see
He's someone I have never talked about
'Cause I know that we'd both be dead if you found out

Every time you tell me that I'm wrong
I just can't remember how to play along

There's something I have never told you
I'm not really from this world
There's something that I've been withholding
I'm not like every other girl

Loha, loha, mahi, cahri
Yoha, yoho
Yoha, yoha, maha, cahrah
Yohi, yoho
You are the one in my dreams that I'm waiting for
You are the one in my dreams that I'm waiting for

So if you begin to think that my light might be supernatural
I'd have to say, "You're right. You're right, mon cher, it is."
I came from a place that your mind cannot even imagine
We sing, "Ah, oh ah, oh ah, oh ah."

And we sing
Loha, loha, mahi, cahri
Yoha, yoho
Loha, loha, maha, cahrah
Yohi, yoha
You are the one in my dreams that I'm waiting for
You are the one in my dreams that I'm waiting for

I need your love, babe
I need your love, babe
I need your love, babe
I need your love, babe

Every time that you walk out on me
I regress back to the one that I can't see

I know that we'd both be dead if you found out

Every time you tell me that I'm wrong

There's something I have never told you
I'm not really from this world
There's something I have been withholding
I'm not like every other girl

Loha, loha, maihi, maihi
Yoha, yoho
Loha, loha, maihi, maihi
Yoha, yoho
You are the man of my dreams that I've waited for
You are the man of my dreams that I've waited for

So if you begin to think that my light might be supernatural
I'd have to say, "You're right. You're right, mon cher, it is."
I come from a place that your mind cannot even imagine
Where we sing, "Maha, mahaha, mahaha, maha."

Loha, loha, maihi, maihi

I'll give my love, babe
I'm your devoted
I'll give my love, babe
I'm your devoted

Maha, maha, maha, maha
Maha, maha, maha
