There’s a story that we’ve all heard
A story that always sounds so bad
Of a man who left his woman
Or a woman who left her man
Of a love that led to the loss of a life
A love that seemed to fade with time
A love that couldn’t stand the test of time
My apologies if this sounds too familiar
My perspective tonight is just a bit peculiar
Take one
They married young, both were crazy in love
He worked so hard, so that her hand he could have
She was a good wife, knew her place in his life
And he too, made her proud to be his wife
The babies came, and her attention waned
He had been so tame, now he seems so pained
Seeking solace in the arms of another
Casting her out, soon after making her a mother
But at some point, he loved her too
Take two
High school sweethearts, been together through thick and thin
Whatever the challenge, together they knew they’d win
Then came tuition, and the trip to Yatta for camping
They were both too young, and life already too tempting
Both too broke, with the parents already straining
When she gets the cash, he starts suspecting
He gets insecure, she hates his questioning
And without the trust, all that love became nothing
But before all that, they loved each other too
Take three
A pretty lass with a tight ass meets a gentleman
He woos her successfully, becomes her man
To him she bares her soul, and her body as well
And he loves her back so hard, puts her under his spell
But no fairy tale lacks its speck of hell
That’s when in came Becky with the good hair
Or was it Ruben with the good ear
Someone found out, and it all vanished into thin air
Love was here too, and it was true
Finale
This is a bit personal, let’s mark it as confidential
Nobody likes a rival, even if it’s only provisional
If you love her, love her right, regardless of the bad possibilities
If you love him, don’t think twice, coz life has enough uncertainties
We’ve seen too many people get hurt
Too many songs and stories about a broken heart
Too many good things that we fuck up just out of lust
When it comes to love, our vanity and stupidity borders profanity
And just so you know, I love you too
