(Soft palmwine guitar melody)
Eiii, my king
Listen to my heart today, chale
Just a little something for you
The sun came up, I prepared your meal
Everything I do, with love, it’s real
But your words this morning, they cut so deep
Left me with secrets that I cannot keep
I poured my spirit into every task
But a little kindness is all I ask
Oh, my husband, why you treat me so?
My heart is heavy, you need to know
I work so hard just to make you smile
But you make me feel like I’m not worth the while
It hurts my soul, yeah, it kills the vibe
I’m crying inside, nowhere to hide
I gave you my best, I gave you my time
But your tone today, it wasn't fine
It’s not just the words, it’s the lack of care
Like all of my efforts vanish in the air
Chale, I’m human, I have a heart
Don’t let this matter pull us apart
Oh, my husband, why you treat me so?
My heart is heavy, you need to know
I work so hard just to make you smile
But you make me feel like I’m not worth the while
It hurts my soul, yeah, it kills the vibe
I’m crying inside, nowhere to hide
Can we find the peace that we used to hold?
Before the fire gets a little too cold
I want to love you, but I need respect
Don’t leave my spirit in this state of neglect
I just want to be your queen, your pride
With all the happiness kept by your side
So talk to me sweet, let the bitterness fade
Remember the promise that we once made
Oh, my husband, why you treat me so?
My heart is heavy, you need to know
I work so hard just to make you smile
But you make me feel like I’m not worth the while
It hurts my soul, yeah, it kills the vibe
I’m crying inside, nowhere to hide
I just need you to see me, baby
Eiii, don't break my heart no more
Just a little love is all I need
Peace and love, chale
