My mama said he'd hold me
and never let me go
but no more, no no more, no more

Why am I here to protect you

Why I'm here to perfect you

I don't know anymore where is my love
where is my love... yeah

It's a man's world that where we are living in
and it's careless and it's cold
Our children will reap, reap what we sow
To every father and son, every brother and friend
bring this curse to an end
