Dogs in the backyard
And the flies are on the wall
Thunder and lightning
But the rain don't ever fall
If there's a flower in this desert
It's your picture on my wall
Ibe dat baby I'm going to make you
Queen of all

Chorus:
This is not a movie
Not a dream
What you see is what you get
This is not a movie
It's for real
You have to face it in the end
The hard side of love

Don't walk away
Don't walk away --
I need your love
There's nothing on the other side ---
This I say to you
One day I know we will
Free our lives
One day I know we will
Free our lives
One day I know we'll turn that tide
Let the wheel turn one more time

Woke up this morning
While you were still asleep
Looked through the window
Into the empty streey
I don't know exactly
What came over me
But now I know baby
I'm going to lay some of this world
At your feet

Chorus

Some day, some day
Wo! Yelele mama!
Yelele mama a ye!
