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
One day, 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 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 street
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 ye lele mama, yelele mama ye
