Miscellaneous

Slave (Just for love)

He loved you — oh yes, he needed you

He gave it all he had — for just one woman

He will sacrifice for you, just to make your dreams come true — only for you

Cold love, he died for you

Overworked in sweat for you

He fell sick, broke in two

You held the keys to set him free,

Chains of love to misery

Everyday for you he craved

But you never came to save

He was your slave — He was your slave

Love took him to his grave

For you he slaved

Material gain was not his thing

But he worked three jobs just to bring,

you three diamond rings

But, for it wasn’t enough

He turned crook, and life turned rough

From bad to worse

Oh, then they hauled him off to jail

Locked him away in a lonely cell

Without his love, he did his time

Died there with you in his mind

Repeat

His woman’s dialogue

And if I had to do, all over again

I’d take him in my arms, and love him like a friend

Since he’s been gone, for his love I crave

I ain’t too proud to say, for this love I’ll slave

I tried… (he tried)… We tried

The love died

I ain’t too proud to say, for his love I’ll slave

Since he’s been gone, for his love I crave

Continued repeat till fade
