From the recordings Wiyaala and Singles & More
Album: Wiyaala 2014
Wiyaala says "I wrote this one in South Africa under pressure. After the reality show in 2012, I was offered a showcase in Johannesburg with a major label. They gave me a beat and told me I had to come up with something for the studio the next day. This is what I came up with. I didn't get signed, but that's a story for another day!"
Lyrics:
Didn’t you say we would be together forever
Weren’t you the one who promised
You wouldn’t listen to what people said
Didn’t you say we would be together forever
Weren’t you the one who promised
You wouldn’t listen to what people said
But I guess it was love that blinded me
But I guess it was love that blinded me
But I guess it was love that blinded me
But I guess it was love that blinded me
Weren’t you the one who told me to be strong
But you just danced to the rhythm they called
You didn’t even fight for our love
You left, just when I needed you
To show how much you cared
[Lyrics from: https:/lyrics.az/wiyaala/wiyaala-lp/kandabanye-had-i-known.html]
You didn’t think of me and the pain you caused
Had I known, but now it’s too late
Had I known, but now it’s too late
Had I known, but now it’s too late
Had I known, but now it’s too late
I should have listened when my
Mama and Papa warned me about you
Now I know it’s true when they say
Where adults sit and see, a child can’t
Even if he or she climbs the highest
Tree or mountain in this world
But I guess it was love that blinded me
I guess it was love, I guess it was love
I guess it was love, I guess it was love
I guess it was love, I guess it was love
