This happened when i was 17 years old
I wrote it when i was 18
Oh mama you don't understand
If i said then you'd here within the drums wouldn't stand
Many reason abrubt in history
For my feeling was no mystery
You know how badly i suffered, but you loved so much
You stayed then i wonder why you say it was a bad touch
Now i've made it worse by telling you the reason i wanted out
Thinking what the hell is this girl on about
Well you see i wanted to marry for the sake of a better a life
For my Lord to see me proud as a wife
As life should be, but i didn't have to be so soon
Didn't have to go so fast like a falling off a nose would be a hanging spoon
I could have took my time, but i wanted to run away from your man forever
And ever
