akua naru - the question lyrics

[chorus: akua naru, edson sean & akua naru and edson sean]
how could you leave me?
i watched you run away
and i cried for days
how could you leave me?
hope that one day i might find you
and get the nerve to say (daddy, daddy, uh)
how could you leave me?

[verse 1: akua naru]
when i loved you first for no reason
i’d shine with you into [?], could light cleveland
steven keaton couldn’t fathom a family tied to jesus
black power politics, soul train reruns, uh
daddy, i need you, so i’m attention seekin’, fiend to
gather your compliments, adorn my self+esteem with
reason i’m wearin’ this church dress on tuesday evenin’
strategic at the top of the steps, know that you see me, uh
heart reachin’ for you, but grown folks is talkin’
so i watch from the corner, bored, jealous, and tortured
call you my superman, my candy yam, i do you favourite dance
terry lewis, jimmy jam, never had a bigger fan
lord, when i’m in your hands, safer than i’ve ever been
protect me from the bogeyman, celebrate my innocence
daddy, if you’re listenin’, know my world’s dependent
on the moment that you walk through that door
any minute now
[chorus: akua naru & edson sean]
i watched you run away (watched you run away)
and i cried for days (cryin’ for days)
hope that one day i might find you (daddy, daddy, uh)
and get the nerve to say

[verse 1: akua naru]
look
loved it when you called me baby brown, sugar, puddin’, cinnamon
[?] to just trace your beard with my fingertips
colored you in the lines, crown c+cked to the side
‘member before it was the world, it was just you and i
when you’d throw me in the air, i believed i could fly
arms stretched like they surrenderin’ to meet the divine
suspended in time, one moment till i open my eyes
to find a world shattered where callin’ “daddy” meant no reply
what becomes of the broken hearted, once pure, abandoned and torn?
ears worn as the door slams, daddy leaves, gone
used to wonder what i did wrong
if it means it was my fault that you ain’t love me no more
too young and immature
to carry the grief and loss of an electra complex
cut short, consumed by the wound i let run its course
now you appear like the bottle turnin’ up on the shores
talkin’ ’bout daddy’s remorse
how could you leave me?
[chorus: akua naru & edson sean]
i watched you run away (watched you run away) (how could you leave me?)
and i cried for days (cryin’ for days) ([?] call, there was no reply)
hope that one day i might find you (there was no reply)
and get the nerve to say (called for you, called for you, no reply)
i watched you run away (watched you run away)
and i cried for days (cryin’ for days)
hope that one day i might find you
and get the nerve to say

[outro: akua naru]
how could you?
