INSPIRATION AND SUMMARY OF THE SONG

Music has always been a passion of ours and it has always been a bridge to many encounters. And the inspiration behind this song is because of a certain encounter, meeting my girlfriend, and our relationship which continues up to this date. Kung Gusto Mo Ako is a song about a girl who wants more than just a shallow kind of love. She wants a partner who understands that love is earned and taken good care of, and that if a man’s feelings are true, he will withstand the greatest tests of love. Kung Gusto Mo Ako explains what a genuine relationship has to have. A good relationship needs both material and non-material things to survive but will last only if we value perseverance, kindness, dedication, and faithfulness. This song is a message to all those who want and who are in a solid relationship and for those who think the youth are rash in decisions about love.

SONG LYRICS

KUNG GUSTO MO AKO

Verse 1:
Akala mo ba mapapa-ibig mo ako sa mga dala mong rosas?
Mamahaling tsokolate ang pilit mong diskarte
Magmukha ka lang galante
Kasama mo pa ang ‘yong barkada, ba’t sintunadong nanghaharana?
Mga linya mong pang-serye, wala naman sa sine
Huwag idadaan sa suwerte

Pre-chorus:
Kung gusto mo akong ligawan
Huwag mong daanin sa paspasan
Kung gusto mo ‘ko makasama
Higit pa sa kilig ang dapat mong maipadama

Chorus:
Puso ko’y mapipitas mo lamang
Kung ‘yong mababawasan ang ‘yong pagmamayabang
Nais ko’y masipag, sana’y maaruga
Yaman mo naman ay ‘di ko kailangan
Sana’y ‘wag kang panghihinaan
Kung tunay nga at tapat ang ‘yong nararamdaman
‘Di kailangan perpekto ang ‘yong mga galaw
Kailangan lang naman may paninindigan

Verse 2:
Alam mo na ba kung paano mo sa akin ipapadama ang ‘yong paghanga?
Sana’y bigyan ng kulay eksena sa ‘king buhay
Kung mahal mo nga ‘kong tunay
Ang mahalaga ay sana ‘di pa rin magbago ang maganda mong katangian
Ang pag-alay mo ng oras, tiyagang ‘di kumukupas
At ngiting nakakalunas

Pre-chorus:
Kung gusto mo akong ligawan
Huwag mong daanin sa paspasan
Kung gusto mo ‘ko makasama
Higit pa sa kilig ang dapat mong mapadama

Chorus:
Puso ko’y mapipitas mo lamang
Kung ‘yong mababawasan ang ‘yong pagmamayabang
Nais ko’y masipag, sana’y maaruga
Yaman mo naman ay ‘di ko kailangan
Sana’y ‘wag kang panghihinaan
Kung tunay nga at tapat ang ‘yong nararamdaman
‘Di kailangan perpekto ang ‘yong mga galaw
Kailangan lang naman may paninindigan

Bridge:
‘Di mo alam nadarama ko
Tuwing ika’y naglalakas ng loob mo
Nakikita ko
Baka tuluyan na ‘kong mahulog sa iyo

Pre-chorus 2:
Puso ko’y mapipitas mo lamang
Kung ‘yong mababawasan ang ‘yong pagmamayabang
Sana’y ‘wag kang panghihinaan
Kung tunay nga at tapat ang ‘yong nararamdaman
Puso ko’y mapipitas mo lamang
Kung ‘yong mababawasan ang ‘yong pagmamayabang
San’y ‘wag kang panghihinaan
Kung tunay nga at tapat ang ‘yong nararamdaman

Chorus 2:
Puso ko’y mapipitas mo lamang
Kung ‘yong mababawasan ang ‘yong pagmamayabang
Nais ko’y masipag, sana’y maaruga
Yaman mo naman ay ‘di ko kailangan

Sana’y ‘wag kang panghihinaan
Kung tunay nga at tapat ang ‘yong nararamdaman
Di ka dapat sumuko may pag asa ka naman
Kung tunay nga naman na gusto mo ako AKO
