Everyday
Everyday is not a holiday
My life's like a subway
Oh I know this love don't last
Look at me tell me what you see
Do you believe this love is real
Oh
I know this love don't last
I have come from far away to see this go down the drain
I have waited patiently and this is what I get
Emotionally failing me
My whole wild world is caving in
I'm not so free to express myself
But the woman in me don't fade away
My mama say baby be careful
If any body comes to say I love you
My papa say baby I warn you
If anybody comes to say i
I love you
Now you asking me to trust you
Tell me how am I supposed to
When I know this love don't last
Could this be the kind of love
That my mum use to warn me about
Oh
How will I know that this love will last
I have come from far away to see this go down the drain
I have got so much to give but don't know what I'll get
I try so hard to express my self
If anybody comes to say I love you
Feel it you feel it you
Because I love you and I won't hurt you
My papa say be careful 'cause I warn you baby
'Cause I love you
Baby I warn you
