Fake promises, Fake promise,
and your words so sweet.
I, the innocent girl becomes crazy
you tell me you love me,
But all you want is to satisfy your selfish desires.
You tell me I am the most beautiful girl in the world,
but all you want is to flatter me.
You tell me you will never leave me whatever happens
But all you want is to make me lose my guard,
Time comes when I am pregnant
You tell me you are not responsible, that you are too young
You tell me you cannot marry an ugly person like me.
That I am not your class, that I am it wasn’t you,
The most beautiful girl in the world I was, but now I am no more.
A fatherless child comes into the world
No one to call dad, No one to lift her when she falls down and hurts herself
No one to run to when mum spanks her
Your fake promises, your foolish promises
Oh selfish boy, master of lies
Who have brought all these misery on me and on your innocent child
whom you have rejected.
Will I believe you boy, Never never in my life
I will be master of myself, I will control my destiny
I will educate myself and Show you what I can do, foolish boy the master of lies.
