Loord...! When you love a woman to the bottom of your heart
And she pack up and leave you, it's pure worries and problems
Fret-nation man you kill a-whole generation believe me
Lord, they say
Don't til it break your heart
You never know til she break your heart
When she tear it all apart
Hand in hand you used to walk through the park
Uh-huh, uh-huh, even the dark
Promise is a comfort to a fool, you musta never know me go a good school
No bother come and ride me likе a donkey or mule, it no lucky ting
I man nah know fi use mi tool, thеy say
Want I fi cut off I dread, they must-e want mi fi turn baldhead
Believe me, believe me, when I say buk when we dem kinda folla-day
Cause I and I want to be free, yes
Every woman must respect their man
And every man must respect their woman
And man please remember, if there wasn't no woman there could never be no man
So I say
Don't til it break your heart
You never know til it break your heart
When you tear it all apart
We used to walk hand in hand through the park
Believe me, believe me, believe me, believe me
Baba know we are de best, the best
Yes-a Powerhouse you are de best, the best
A-yes-a Half Pint, you are de best, the best
Yes-a Josey Wales, you are de best, lord
Some-a even north, south and even west
Inna pants and shirt and jacket and vest
And some of them a-try but we know they cyaan test
Looord...
You never know til it break your heart
You never know til it break your heart
When you tear it all apart
All the love you have is lost
Believe me, believe me, believe me, believe me
When you love a girl to your heart
When she gone a East, West or North
I don't care where she is on the street
It seems like this daughter must be turning into a freak
And five weeks now and she no come home come eat
Don't believe me man, every night sixty we could sleep
I tell you
You never know til it break your heart
You never know til she break your heart
A-when she tear it all apart
Believe me, we used to walk hand in hand in the dark
Balong bilung bilung beleh
Chu me say you want fi me dead
You want mi alone, and rub up in the bed
Yes, you want me to come home with expensive bread
With knife proper kilo under mi head
Balong beleh
You try it until it a baldhead
No bother make me mistake, and try it with a dread
So I say
Yes-a Powerhouse you are de best, balung beng
Yes-a Half Pint, you are de best, bida-do-ba-deng
Yes-a Josey Wales, you are de best, bida-do-bung-beh
Yes-a Powerhouse you are de best, looord
Promise is a comfort to a fool, yes
You better when you come from good school, yea
No ride me like a horse or mule, lord of mercy
And ease on up the thing me nuffi use up fi mi tool, they say
You never know til it break your heart
You never know til she break her heart
A-when she tear it all apart
We used to walk hand-in-hand in the dark
The dark, the dark, the dark, the dark, the dark, in the middle of the night when it's cold
And you have no one to hug and hold
