I swear na lie I dey lie
If I tell you sey
I change ma mind for you
Till the end of time
E go always be you
I swear na lie I dey lie
If I tell you sey
I change ma mind for you
Till the end of time
E go always be you
I'm falling too deep for you, too deep for you, too deep for you
(Lorlor ei va malor wo)
Too deep for you, too deep for you, too deep for you
(Lorlor ei va malor wo)
I'm falling too deep for you, too deep for you, too deep for you
(Lorlor ei va malor wo)
Too deep for you, too deep for you, too deep for you
(Lorlor ei va malor wo)

And so as I sit on this hills, upon which I first entered the chambers of your womanhood
As I watch the sleepy sun lay its bed beyond the horizons to sleep
And as I sip this palm wine of pain from the cracked skulls of a broken heart
These thoughts kept lingering in my mind
How did we get here?
Where did we go wrong?
What happened to our love and the promises?
Vows we vowed to keep on the chief priest's sacred premises
For we were lovers

Rumor has it that in their younger years
Your mama and my papa were lovers
Around the same too
Your papa and my mama were also lovebirds
And so when the jealous hands of faith switched their love stories around
Pairing them apart, we were born
I heard the elders say tales of our birth
That day even bats sung and flew in daylight
And it rained so heavily that the rainbows for the first made Love to the Moon
And the Stars rode themselves at the back of the Sun
Born on the same day by the hands of the same old lady
Out doored under the auspices of the very traditional chief priest of the land
The gods chose to smile upon us for we were destined from birth
Even the gossips at the market square knew that for a certain
For I was your Efo Korku and you my Davi Aku
Ohh I remember vividly how when we were young
My mother will bath me and decorate my neck and chest with Korle bu powder
As she sends me running to your house
To buy a bottle of Kerosene for the "torkpodogui" in our house
Oh what a beauty you were, a true epitome of African beauty
For you will come out of your fathers mud house
With a piece of cloth around your chest and waist
As your soft black skin glitters in the reflection of the fire
From your grandmother's earth stove Though it took me some years to figure it out
That it was the effects of the yorkumi you so dearly smeared on your body
I still loved you
The older children used to say we were young and foolish
But even then we both knew how we felt
And it was love
And so when I underwent the "tudedeasi" puberty ritual of our land
And my father's gun given me
And I and 17 other boys dispatched to the forest for our first hunting expedition
You were all I could think of
Because of you I was the first to return from my prey hunting
With my pray resting on my shoulders
And the younger boys and girls running around calling me and praising me and cheering me on
I came straight into your house
Oh how I so badly wanted to share every bit of that meat with you
And use its teeth to weave a necklace of my love around your neck
I so badly wanted to share with you the tales of my hunting expedition
And to prove to you that I had grown into the man I always said I would be

But little did I know that I was going to be ripped off this joy of love?
The story of my first hunt love became tales never to be told or heard of
Life tricked me and stole you away from the grips of my love
You died too early
Therefore as I await the break of dawn to bored the famous old Gold Coast boneshaker bus
To depart from this town of haunted lost loves
I just want to take a moment to whisper to the winds that
We were lovers
