Yo, ya-yo-ya-yo, yo...
Zap Mama:
I'm sitting on a table
Not able to find, a possibility
I'm sitting on a table, me and my own
All my love transformed, into tears
All my love transformed, into sadness
Chorus:
I'm waiting everyday
Waiting for baby
I'm waiting every-night
To hold this baby tight
I'm sipping on my bottle
Again and again, alone
Sadness you own me
Sadness you own me
Ohouheheheh, Oh Ouh ih
Sadness you own me
Chorus #2:
I've been waiting everyday
Waiting for baby
I've been every-night
To hold this baby
To hold this baby tight
I'm been waiting everyday
Waiting for baby
I've been every-night
To hold this baby tight
(Man)
Look into these eyes like they lost and shine
I'm feelin' out of place like I was lost in time
The whole world 'done lost its mind
And with the loss of mine
I think I've finally gone and crossed the line
Man, life can be so damn wrong sometimes
We forced to rhyme
We forced to fall in line
We forced to suffer losses all the time
Of course the cause is life, yours and mine
Often times we sharpen minds
We push ahead to fall behind
Its our decline so if its all designed
Truths so hard to find
We sn__fers all the crime
I'm going to move to the far beyond
Zap Mama:
All my love transformed, into tears
All my love transformed, into sadness
