Lyrics
Down Child
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Listen down child, please take a fool's advice
Listen down child, please take a fool's advice
Don't ever let no one woman, Man misuse you twice
Every time she smiles, says she don't love no one but you
Everytime she smiles, says she don't love no one but you
You better watch out buddy boy,
Little girl love to drop a chunk on you
I tried so hard to not even think about my past life
I tried so hard even think about my past life
Because I don't want to ever ever make a mistake in life
Baby, I and you could be so happy,
We can be so lovin' tonight
From now on darling, we can be so happy
Be so loving from now on
Because if I ever make a mistake in life,
I know I'd ruin my happy home
