The People's Movement for the Liberation of Angola, for some years called the People's Movement for the Liberation of Angola – Labour Party (Portuguese: Movimento Popular de Libertação de Angola – Partido do Trabalho), is a political party that has ruled Angola since the country's independence from Portugal in 1975. The MPLA fought against the Portuguese army in the Angolan War of Independence of 1961–74, and defeated the National Union for the Total Independence of Angola (UNITA) and the National Liberation Front of Angola (FNLA), two other anti-colonial movements, in the decolonization conflict of 1974–75 and the Angolan Civil War of 1975–2002.
On December 10, 1956, in Estado Novo-ruled Portuguese Angola, the tiny underground Angolan Communist Party (PCA) merged with the Party of the United Struggle for Africans in Angola (PLUA) to form the People's Movement for the Liberation of Angola, with Viriato da Cruz, the President of the PCA, as Secretary General. Later other groups merged into MPLA, such as Movement for the National Independence of Angola (MINA) and the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Angola (FDLA).
Come on over
Let me watch you
Let me hold you
Let me touch you
Right or wrong
I should have stayed up 'till the break of dawn
Ever since our eyes did meet
I long to see
Your eyes
Surprised me like a moon on a cowboy movie screen
I never found out what it means!
I must be out of my head
It must be something I said
So come on
I'll waste my life [on you]
You think I'm out of my head
But I'm romantically dead
So come on
I'll waste my life on you!
Come on over
Let me watch you
Let me hold you
Let me touch you
I'm right, you're wrong
You should have come to me before too long
You'll never leave my sight again
To keep you then
Your eyes
Deny me like the sun on a night sky movie scene
And I just don't care what it means!
I must be out of my head
It must be something I said
So come on
I'll waste my life [on you]
You think I'm out of my head
But I'm romantically dead
So come on
I'll waste my life on you!
And I hate to be the one
The one to drop you the bomb
You wouldn't wait around
But I'll be watchin' you
Woooooo you!
Woooooo you! YEAH you
Woooooo you!
Woooooo you! YEAH you
Woooooo
Woooooo
I'll watch your every move
You can't know we can't hurt
You got no choice I got you!
I must be out of my head
It must be something I said
So come on
I'll waste my life [on you]
You think I'm out of my head
But I'm romantically dead
So come on
I'll waste my life on you!
I must be out of my head
It must be something I said
So come on
I'll waste my life on you!
You think I'm out of my head
But I'm romantically dead
So come on!
I'll waste my life
I'll waste my life
