Was me, is me loving you a crime?
When will you stop judging me every time?
When will you stop putting me behind the bars?
Is love really a time wasting or a curse?
For how long will you sentence my feelings?
For how long will you keep me in darkness?
For how long will my heart be in slavery?
For how long shall I work under your decree?
Was I born to be your slave and enemy?
Will my labour and my mum's labour be in vain?
What you ask of me I have done and I do always
But the rewards you pay me are sorrows and pains.
I have given you children and my whole heart,
I always care your family, loving you and support.
What will you do to save me from the bondage of
Unhappiness, heartbroken and desolate?
You've been killing my feelings,
I cry like I was born to tears.
What kind of a person I have
Become? Dead or alive?
You've stopped treating me as your own woman
All I have become is your slave and concubine.
I have forgotten how it feels to be happy,
How smile moves and how laugh sounds.
I have forgotten myself because life with you
Has stopped to be seen and felt as that mine.
Like I have just borrowed
From someone who's dead.
If this is what marriage means
How I wish God made me a man.
I wish I could lend you my heart
So that you feel how I love your heart.
I wish I could lend you my mind so that you
Know what I think about you.
I wish I could give you my eyes so that you
Can see what I have been through.
I know there's a lot of women
But know that there's none
Like me and you will regret when
Someone took me away from your sight.
