Botswana, officially the Republic of Botswana (Tswana: Lefatshe la Botswana), is a landlocked country located in Southern Africa. The citizens are properly referred to as "Batswana" (singular: Motswana), but many English-language sources use "Botswanan". Formerly the British protectorate of Bechuanaland, Botswana adopted its new name after becoming independent within the Commonwealth on 30 September 1966. It has held free and fair democratic elections since independence.
Botswana is flat, and up to 70% is covered by the Kalahari Desert. It is bordered by South Africa to the south and southeast, Namibia to the west and north, and Zimbabwe to the northeast. Its border with Zambia to the north near Kazungula, Zambia is poorly defined but at most is a few hundred meters long.
A mid-sized country of just over two million people, Botswana is one of the most sparsely populated countries in the world. Botswana was one of the poorest countries in Africa when it gained independence from the United Kingdom in 1966, with a GDP per capita of about US$70. Botswana has since transformed itself, becoming one of the fastest-growing economies in the world to a GDP (purchasing power parity) per capita of about $14,000. The country also has a strong tradition as a representative democracy.
Your scars where still showing when I first met you, baby
From all the wrong she had done to you
And I came along and applied a little loving
Slowly but surely I brought u through
Now she's back to recinlde that old flame
She's got a different angle, baby
But she's playing the same old game
Baby, don't be the victim of a foolish heart
Don't let her lies get next to you
She's just trying to tear us apart
And she's trying to make, to make me a victim too
Now I know she come around here everytime I leave
Cos she knows she's still on your mind, on your mind
See, even a wise man jumps in misery somewhere down the line
But only a fool will jump the second time
Our affair is growing stronger every day
Don't let her... steal our happiness away
Don't be the victim of a foolish heart
Don't let her lies get next to you
She's just trying to tear us apart
And she's trying to make, to make me a victim too
Now she's back to recinlde that old flame
She's got a different angle, baby
But she's playing the same old game
Baby, don't be the victim of a foolish heart
Don't let her lies get next to you
Ooh, she's just trying to tear us apart
And she's trying to make, to make me her victim too
Im not gonna let her make
Im not gonna let her um
Im not gonna let her make
Im not gonna let her um
Cant you see what she's doing to you boy?
Kiss me each morning for a million years
Hold me each evening by your side
Tell me you love me for a million years
Then if it don't work out
Then if it don't work out
Then you can tell me goodbye
Sweeten my coffee with a morning kiss
Soften my dreams with your sigh
After you've loved me for a million years
Then if it don't work out
Then if it don't work out
Then you can tell me goodbye
If you must go I won't grieve
If you just wait a life-time before you leave
If you must go I won't say "no"
Just so we can say that we tried
Tell me you love me for a million years
Then if it don't work out
Then if it don't work out
Sometimes it's hard to be a woman
Giving all your love to just one man
You'll have bad times, and he'll have good times
Doin' things that you don't understand
But if you love him, you'll forgive him
Even though he's hard to understand
And if you love him, oh be proud of him
'Cause after all he's just a man.
Stand by your man, give him two arms to cling to
And something warm to come to
When nights are cold and lonely.
Stand by your man, and show the world you love him
Keep giving all the love you can.
Stand by your man.
Stand by your man, and show the world you love him
Keep giving all the love you can.
If you want something to play with
Go and find yourself a toy
Baby, my time is too expensive
And I'm not a little boy
If you are serious
Don't play with my heart, it makes me furious
But if want me to love you
Then, baby, I will, girl, you know I will
Tell it like it is
Don't be ashamed to let your conscience be your guide
But I-I-I-I-I know deep down inside of me
I believe you love me, forget your foolish pride
Life is too short to have sorrow
You may be here today and gone tomorrow
You might as well get what you want
So go on and live, baby, go on and live
Tell it like it is
I'm nothin' to play with, go and find yourself a toy
But I-I-I-I-I
Tell it like it is
My time is too expensive
And I'm not your little boy
FADE

Not just for a little while
Your hand is like a torch
Each time you touch me
And that look in, in your eyes
It just tears me apart
But please don't open
The door to Heaven
If I can't, if I can't come in
Oh, don't touch me
If you don't love me
Don't do it, sweetheart
Don't give me something
That you might soon
Soon take away, baby
To have you and then lose you
That wouldn't be smart on my part
Oh, baby, baby
Don't open the door to Heaven
If you won't, if you won't let me in
And please don't touch me
Unless you love me, sweetheart
Oh, please don't touch me

Today I started loving you
All over again, yes, I did
I'm right back
Where I started from
Where I've always been
I got over you
Just long enough to
Let my broken heart mend
Then today
I started loving you
All over again
(Yes, I did)
What a fool I was
To think I'd get by
With only these few million
Tears that I'll have to cry
I should have known
That the worst was yet to come
And that crying time for me
Had just begun
Because today
I started loving you again
I'm right back
Where I started from
Where I've always been
I got over you
Just long enough to
Let my broken heart mend
Then today
I started loving you again
(Yes, I did)
I got over you
Just long enough to
Let this broken heart
Of mine mend
Hey, then today
I started loving you
All over again
(Yes, I did)
I just can't stop
Blow me a kiss from across the room
Say I look nice when I'm not
Touch my hair as you pass my chair
Little things mean a lot
Give me your arm as we cross the street
Call me at six on the dot
A line a day when you're far away
Little things mean a lot
Don't have to buy me diamonds and pearls
Champagne, sables and such
I never cared much for diamonds and pearls
But honestly honey, they just cost money
Give me your hand when I've lost the way
Give me your shoulder to cry on
Whether the day is bright or gray give me your heart to rely on
Send me the warmth of a secret smile
To show me you haven't forgot
Now and forever, that always and ever
Little things mean a lot
Blow me a kiss from across the room
Say I look nice when I'm not
Touch my hair as you pass my chair
Little things mean a lot
Give me your arm as we cross the street
Call me at six on the dot
A line a day when you're far away
Little things mean a lot
Don't have to buy me diamonds and pearls
Champagne, sables and such
I never cared much for diamonds and pearls
But honestly honey, they just cost money
Give me your hand when I've lost the way
Give me your shoulder to cry on
Whether the day is bright or gray give me your heart to rely on
Send me the warmth of a secret smile
To show me you haven't forgot
Now and forever, that always and ever
There'll be no strings to bind you hands
Not if my love can bind your heart
And there's no need to take a stand
For it was I who chose to start
There's no reason to take me home
I'm old enough to face the dawn
Just call me angel of the morning, angel
Just touch my cheek before you leave me, baby
Just call me angel of the morning, angel
Then slowly turn away from me
Maybe the suns light will be dim
But it wont matter anyhow
If mornings echo says, we've sinned
Well, it would what I would give now
And if we're victims of the night
I won't be blinded by the light
Just call me angel of the morning, angel
Just touch my cheek before you leave me, baby
Just call me angel of the morning, angel
Then slowly turn away
I'm not gonna beg you to stay here with me
Through the years, of the days, of the years, baby, baby
Just call me angel of the morning, angel
Just touch my cheek before you leave me, baby
Just call me angel of the morning, angel
Honey you do me wrong but still I'm crazy about you
Stay away too long and I can't do without you
Every chance you get you seem to hurt me more and more
But each hurt makes my love stronger than before
I know flowers go through rain
But how can love go through pain
Ain't that peculiar
A peculiar-arity
Ain't that peculiar baby
Peculiar as can be
You tell me lies that should be obvious to me
I've been so much in love with you baby til I don't want to see
That things you do and say are designed to make me blue
It's a doggone shame my love for you makes all
Your lies seem true
But if the truth makes love last longer
Why do lies make my love stronger
Ain't that peculiar
Peculiar as can be
Ain't that peculiar baby
A peculiar-arity
I cried so much just like a child that's lost its home
Maybe baby you think these tears I cry are tears of joy
A child can cry so much until you do everything they say
But unlike a child my tears don't help me to get my way
I know love can last through years
But how can love last through tears
Now ain't that peculiar baby
A peculiar-arity
Ain't it peculiar baby
Peculiar as can be
Said I don't understand it baby
Sweet, sweet dreams I have of you
Every night, night after night I have to go through
Why can't I forget about you and start my life over you
Instead of having, always having sweet dreams about you
You don't love me, you don't love me, it's plain
I should have known that I could never, never wear your name
I know, I should hate you, hate you the whole night, the whole night through
Instead of just having, always having sweet dreams about you
I know, I know, I should hate you, I should hate you the whole night through
Instead I keep having, always having sweet dreams about you
I never had a love to call my own
I was about to give up
And then you came along
Just to have your tender ways
Thrills me for days and days
I don't care what nobody says
I want you for always
You already come and took my heart and my soul
Now I want you to take full control
Yeah, I need the love that only you can give
If I can't have it, I don't want to live, no,
I never had a love so sweet
I never thought I'd be lucky enough to meet
A guy with all your charms
To hold me with loving arms
Make me feel secure and warm
Cause my heart to run
Now that I've found you
I wanna stay around you
So make me yours, make me yours
Ooh, now that I've found you
I wanna stay around you
So make me yours, make me yours
Take me baby, make what you want me to be
So whatever you need you can always find in me
Love me baby and keep me by your side
Wherever you go I'll go and be satisfied
All of my friends say, "Girl, don't"
But I know what I need
And I know what I want
I wanna be yours
You're the only one
And I will give you happiness in return
Because what you need, baby I've got it
What you've got, I'm just crazy about it
If you're looking for a love that you'll never get tired of
Make me yours, make me yours
Make me yours, make me yours,
