Oh, you've sold me you hold me
You've told me I'll be getting all your love
You can go wrong
If you hold on for so long
Just because you have to give up
Do I love you ooh ooh I'm afraid I do
Do you love me, once upon a time
I was sure I knew
Chorus:
I don't like what I been thinkin'
If it's true, oh, you know I'm a fool
Face to face you promise me forever
But the ring's still sitting in a store downtown
And I'm still sitting here
Waitin' for the deal to go down
I get lonely and lonely is only
The hardest way to spend the night
Then you call me
You call me and stall
And swear you're gonna make it right
So I hang on
Oh that's just the way things are
But the pay off I been waitin' for
Just might break my heart
Repeat Chorus
Bridge:
Is there someone out there I don't know about
Convince me baby beyond a shadow of a doubt
I don't like what I been thinkin'
If it's true oh you know I'm a fool
Face to Face you promise me forever
But the ring's still sitting in a store downtown
And I'm still sitting here
Waitin' for the deal to go down
Waitin' for the deal to go down

It is real, as real as it seem
Don't you live on illusion
And don't you ever try to live a dream
I sing...
Chorus
Buju say how could you rise up every living day
Telling yourself everything is OK
When you look at life you'll see it slipping away
Lord knows who feels it every moment every day
Those why cry for the poor get neglected, rejected, put to death
How much more will we take?
Did you father work off his shirt, blood, sweat and tears
Don't tell me that you forgot
Being oppressed by the oppressors, all different types of stress
For the sorrows of the poor, they don't even care less
Refuse to deal with world atrocities, civil unrest
Instead they're building penitentiaries as big as a bird's nest
Saying we are to be blamed for whatever what mess
Chorus
Some say, how are you going? They want to know if we are mine
Not until we reposess what's rightfully mine
Sitting down for so long we do belive it is time
Everyone is entitled to food at mealtime
'Til then, we'll struggle for rights, no more racial fights
Degradation to the highest heights
All obstacles as a people we have to cross
With health and strength we all can get across
Happenings of yesterday are just a thing of the past
Chorus
Don't you cry little one, wipe your tears, sing my song
Though we're in a strange land with evil ones
Help the weak if you're strong, iron sharpens iron
When you're down take a look at where the help is coming from
What about the masterminds with the foolproof plans
What about the geniuses who achieve grade one
Chorus
Repeat verse 1 and verse 2
