Album: We Both Was Young

first time i saw you i swore that nothing on heaven or earth could compare
your skin was brown like the soil that i worked all day long and your eyes were like fire
i was afraid that you wouldn't care a thing for me - i was afraid of this very fear
but you were there waiting - when i came calling - i couldn't have done it again if i'd tried

but she was young
and i was young
and we're not afraid
to live life to the fullest

when you took me to your hometown - people they didn't understand
when you took me to your house - they would not shake my hand
well, it is love - why can nobody see it?
do they know what love looks like - or do they choose to ignore?

if you want me - you can have me
and just maybe - i will change your world for you
cos these feelings - that i'm feelin'
they make me not afraid to change your world for you
