Shadows are fallin' all over town
Another night and these blues got me down
Oh, misery! I sure could use some company
Since wewe been gone I ain't been the same
I carry the weight like an old ball and chain
Guess it's all meant to be
For upendo to 'cause such misery
Oh misery! Oh misery!
Tell me why does my moyo make a fool of me
Seems it's my destiny
For upendo to 'cause me misery
And, oh! I've been down this road before
With a passion that turns into pain
And each time I saw upendo walk out the door
I swore never get caught up again
But ain't it true? It takes what it takes
And sometimes we get too smart too late
One zaidi heartache for me
Another night of misery
Oh! And oh misery! Oh misery!
Tell me why does my moyo make a fool of me
Oh misery! Oh misery!
Tell me why, why, why, why, why, why does this
moyo make a fool of me
Seems its my destiny
For upendo to cause misery, oh
Misery
Guess it's all meant to be
For upendo to cause me misery, oh, no, yeah
Misery

Daddy was a soldier he taught me about freedom
Peace and all the great things that we take advantage of
Once I fed the homeless, I'll never forget
The look upon their faces as I treated them with respect, and
This is my Vietnam
I'm at war
Life keeps on dropping bombs
And I keep score
Momma was a lunatic, yes, she liked to push my buttons
She alisema I wasn't good enough, but I guess I wasn't trying
Never liked school that much, they tried to teach me better
But I just wasn't hearing it because I thought I was already pretty clever, and
This is my Vietnam
I'm at war
Life keeps on dropping bombs
And I keep score
This is my Vietnam
I'm at war
They keep on dropping bombs
And I keep score
What do wewe expect from me?
What am I not giving you?
What could I do for wewe to make me OK in your eyes?
This is my Vietnam
I'm at war
They keep on dropping bombs
And I keep score
This is my Vietnam
I'm at war
Life keeps on dropping bombs
And I keep score
This is my Vietnam
This is my Vietnam
Peace and all the great things that we take advantage of
Once I fed the homeless, I'll never forget
The look upon their faces as I treated them with respect, and
This is my Vietnam
I'm at war

Put me on the table
Make me say your name
If I can't remember
Then give me all your pain
I can sit and listen

Kiss it and make it better
Just put your trust in me
[Chorus]
Oh my God, go a little slower

Let me in, 'cause I understand

Lickity lick not so quick it's a
Slick ride make my mink slide

And when wewe rock then you've got 'em
Oh my God 'em oh my God 'em

No sleep, no sex for wewe from your ex-girlfriend
I was too deep can't let wewe call me just jump in2
At times I would push my feelings aside to let wewe feel
I'm novocaine I'm numb and nothing's real
Like the coldest winter
I am frozen from you
I was weak before now you've made me
So numb I can't feel much for wewe anymore
I gave wewe my all my baby
I'm numb, numb, numb
But the tears were silent inside, wewe see
But the tears were silent inside, wewe see
I laid there quiet
And watched wewe have your way with me
I might have cried
But the tears were silent inside, wewe see
wewe called me names
Made me feel like I was dumb
I didn't feel a thing
And now I'm gone, gone, gone
Like a battered child
I got used to your pain but wewe know it's 'cause
I was weak before now you've made me
So numb I can't feel much for wewe anymore
I gave wewe my all my baby
I'm numb, numb, numb (x4)
I was too deep can't let wewe call me just jump in2
At times I would push my feelings aside to let wewe feel
I'm novocaine I'm numb and nothing's real
Like the coldest winter
I am frozen from you
I was weak before now you've made me
So numb I can't feel much for wewe anymore
I gave wewe my all my baby
I'm numb, numb, numb
But the tears were silent inside, wewe see
But the tears were silent inside, wewe see
I laid there quiet
And watched wewe have your way with me
I might have cried
But the tears were silent inside, wewe see
wewe called me names
Made me feel like I was dumb
I didn't feel a thing
And now I'm gone, gone, gone
Like a battered child
I got used to your pain but wewe know it's 'cause
I was weak before now you've made me
So numb I can't feel much for wewe anymore
I gave wewe my all my baby
I'm numb, numb, numb (x4)
I'm goin' to California
To live in the summer sun
The streets are made of silver
I'm like a rabbit on the run
Philidelphia freedom
Well its not like wewe have heard, no, no, no
This city of brotherly love
Is full of pain and hurt
I'm goin' to California
To find my pot of gold
Corruption on every corner
Hustlers sellin' sweets
Baby is nyumbani cryin'
While her mom is on the streets
Everybody's dyin'
Have wewe heard the news today?
A woman in north Phili is mournin'
A bullet took another son away
I'm goin to California
I'm goin far, far, far away
Goin' to California, yes
To resurect my soul
The sun is always shinin', shinin'
au atleast that's what I'm told
I'm goin' to California
There's a better life for me, yes
Goin' to California
I'll write and tell wewe what I see
I'm goin' to California
Somebody say a prayer for me
To live in the summer sun
The streets are made of silver
I'm like a rabbit on the run
Philidelphia freedom
Well its not like wewe have heard, no, no, no
This city of brotherly love
Is full of pain and hurt
I'm goin' to California
To find my pot of gold
Corruption on every corner
Hustlers sellin' sweets
Baby is nyumbani cryin'
While her mom is on the streets
Everybody's dyin'
Have wewe heard the news today?
A woman in north Phili is mournin'
