mumbi - take me away lyrics

Loading...

chorus
take me away from this man
for he has hardened and tarnished my heart
lead me – across the ocean
to the promise of a new dream

verse 1
i met this man, let him in
he came into my world, judging everything
he was new in geneva, & didn’t have a place to stay
so i invited him home and said he could stay with me
that was a big mistake. one i’ll never make again

chorus

verse 2
from the very first day we were fighting
and every night, we’d be arguing
but them he’d fry me dumplings
cook me up some yam and i’d forget the pain
cause he’d kiss the wounds he’d inflicted and say
he’d never do it – again!

chorus

verse 3
i’d never been hit by a man before
so at first i was lost, didn’t quite understand
i didn’t see the signs cause i didn’t know what to look for but
i felt the pain!!

i was all alone, paranoid and scared
every morning i’d wake up with tears
leave him in my bed, go to work with tears
walking around the u.n. feeling like i wouldn’t make it

i’d wake up with tears.

chorus

verse 4
he made me bleed
made me call the police
put me in the newspaper as one of those battered women
and he disgraced me
and i kept going, kept on believing he’d change
change for me

he made me cry, destroyed my life
all in the name of education and love
but
i was alone,
i was afraid,
didn’t know what to dooooo

bridge
take me away
take me away
take me away

take me away
