If not for love, I would have done it

If not for love, she would have said it

I was just a kind heart, who wished for every good thing

Oh now I know, everything can't be good as I want it

There's always a bad side

She was just a fair skin, who wished for every beautiful thing,

Oh now she knows, everything can't be beautiful as she wants it

There's is always an ugly side

Together always, we cared less of square pegs and round holes

Now issues brings concerns; we take note of every err and bad thoughts

Bring back the days of old; when we loved like Romeo and Juliet

Bring back the times past; when we had each others back like Bonnie and Clyde

Please let us bring back the you, and the me, that became the us

And hopefully, we could bring back again, everything we kept away

For love is good, and it is good to be loved; One body for one good

If not for love, I would have left you

If not for love, she would have said it was over

And if not for love, we would have been asunder

 

If not for love, I wouldn't have done it

If not for love,  they wouldn't have done it

My belief is different, and my faith is in God of all things

Oh now I know, we may not be the same, though we have one maker

There are Christians, and there are Muslims

They worship in their ways, and they call on God for all things

Oh now they know, we may not be alike, though we have one creator

There are blacks, and there are whites

Together always, we shared festive moods & feasts

Now politics in between; we pick every fault & differences

Bring back the old days; when we lived as brothers and sisters

Bring back the past times; when we protected each other and kept one another

Please let us bring back The Yoruba, and The Hausa and The Ibo that became one Nation

And hopefully, we could #bringbackourgirls, that were taken away

For God is love and love is God; One People under one God

If not for love, I wouldn't have embraced them again

If not for love, they wouldn't have invited me over

And if not for love, we wouldn't have lived together
