She knew me before I knew her,
In the morning with my thick voice,
Racing back from work,
With my heart beeping for love,
My woman occupied my being,
Now I am,
I knew it before she knew,
That I can early because of her,
Huge frown down her cheek,
Asking me to go wash first,
Still I found love in the care,
She knew it before I knew her.
Yet before I could catch a sleep,
Do the dishes she commanded,
Like a sheep to the slaughter,
I walked back to the kitchen,
Yes! It was love that made me bulge,
Back to catch a sleep,
Yet she asks that I make her coffee,
Off again I went,
Boiled the water and make a creamy coffee,
For the woman I love,
She took it before I took mine.
Two jobs everyday,
With my great growing fast,
Doing this for a woman whom I love,
Who seats all day at home to eat,
Away all the fatness of my youth,
Nagging as she welcomed me home,
Asking me more money for her hair,
Makeover only to stay at home,
Whose ox is gored none of her business,
Alas! It was not a slumber,
I woke up in the arms of another,
Who made all things like heaven,
Instead of the hell I had been through all this while,
I knew her and she knew me,
That's all there is that matters.
