You hold my hand, but in your head, you've already left
You free yourself of patience
You sit on the bed, but your shadow is getting dressed
You've had too many years of waiting
I know you're not comin' to the life that we wanted
What if it cut short with the fires I've started?
Have a baby with me, me
Have a baby with me
There's no time to believe in what we could be
Have a baby with me
You couldn't eat with grills for teeth
Is Lower East still inside your memory?
What if we married? What if you believed
In God, this world, in Hell, and all the things that this could be?
But you need to leave, you ought to see
What this world can offer you, outside of me
Have a baby with me, before you leave
Have a baby with me
There's no time to believe in what we could be
We could leave something here
It's too late for our dreams
We can make a new dream
Have a baby with me
Have a baby with me
Woman, I need you, like never before
African woman, you're the one I adore
I-I-I need you, like never before
I'll give you all I've got, and I'm sure
