Benjamin Paa Willie - She Never Asked For a Dime

She never asked for a dime
Nor did she for my time
She never envied other's diamonds
She kept the pact; broke no bonds
All she wanted was respect and trust
And whispers of my faint love each morn
Wondrous it seemed too much; now I mourn
Indeed, our planes apart, it did thrust
And I offer to do things not done before
Respect, time, diamonds… to be loved once more
But she is deafened by whispers of true love
By him who had had no place with my dove
Oh see, my dear, that I will you hence adore
For by letting you go, life has been sore galore
