The Chavda Kingdom or Chapa dynasty also known as Gujar Chaparana was an ancient Hindu Kshatriya dynasty which ruled northern Gujarat from 746 AD to 942 AD.
It is stated in Bombay Gazetteer that Chavdas/chapa were Gurjars. Historians such as Vincent Arthur Smith, Peter N. Stearns, William Leonard Langer also mentioned that Chapas or Chapotkatas were one of the ruling clans of the Gurjars.
Historian Vincent Arthur Smith states in his book "White Hun' Coin of Vyaghramukha of the Chapa (Gurjara) Dynasty of Bhinmal" that Chapa, Cahuda, Chavda, Chavotaka and Chapotkata are identical. Mr. Jackson regards Chapa as being the original form, Chapotkata a sanskritized variant, meaning 'strong bowman'. The chavda was a branch of the Gurjars who extended the power of the race in the south.
However, others believe, that Chawuras of Saurashtra or Gujarat were neither of Solar or Lunar race and consequently, it is supposed they were Scythians. They must have established themselves in India at very remote period, for we find Gehlots inter-married with them, when they were rulers of Balabhi. The capital of Chawdas was at Deobander, near Somnath on west coast of Kathiawar.
Why don't you stay with me?
Come on and play with me
You know I'm out of my tree
Honey, why did you walk away?
When you knew I had something to say
Sittin' here drinking alone
Left wondering why you ain't gonna phone
But I know baby
That you were just sent for me
You're driving me crazy
I'm begging right down on my knees
Why don't you stay with me?
Come on and play with me
You know i'm out of my tree
Lay down your love
I ain't satisfied
Cause you never tried
When making love was a matter of pride
I heard it from friends just the other day
That you're coming back maybe this time you'll stay
Whenever you're near me
I see the truth in your lies
Please open your heart to me
I'm begging you down on my knees
Why don't you stay with me? yea, yea
Come on and play with me, yea, yea
You know I'm out of my tree
Baby, baby, baby, it's allright
Lay down yourlove, allright
Falling in love was'nt easy
But people need love, to survive
If I knew then
All the things I know now
These'd be more then enough to go round
Why don't you stay with me? yeah yeah
Come on and play with me, yeah
You know I'm out of my tree
Baby baby babe it's allright
