This is for those people who've loved across so-called "enemy" lines.

It's more for a South African audience, so if the lyrics don't make sense to you have no fear- it's not you it's me :)

Lyrics:

My baby dun left me
Along time ago
She said I wasn't sunni
That I got-to go
I said "Why baby why?"
She said "You know the score?"
My baby Layla was the prettiest girl
This side of the Laudium Reservoir

Now she was the Emam's daughter- yes she was
So I knew I didn't stand a chance
When her daddy pulled up in his camry
Sportin' his three-quarter pants
Now her daddy had a long beard
As long as my arm
He said he was going to sell his property
And buy a Knysna / Camperdown farm

Her daddy saw me and Layla
Sitting by the swing
He said "O my daughter..."
"...What the hell are you doing?"
"Don't ya know this boy is a heretic..."
"...He's a real bad seed"
"Boy, If I wasn't fasting..."
"I'd beat you till you bleed!"
I saw Layla smile from the car
Then I picked up my guitar
And I wrote this sad sad song
And I know it's taking a bit long
But it's an appreciative jingle
Ladies I hope you know what it means
It means that now I'm single
