Lyrics
Yes your letter reached me early this morning baby
Receiving your letter early in the morning.
And I read every word you had to say
Reading and comprehending the content of your letter thoroughly.
I said your letter reached me early this morning baby
Confirmation of receiving your letter in the morning.
And I read every word you had to say
Reiterating the act of reading every word of your letter.
But you know I just don't understand you waman
Expressing confusion or misunderstanding towards your actions, particularly your departure.
If you love me why in the world did you go away
Questioning the reason behind your departure despite claiming love.
Your letter said that you're doing ok
Indicating your well-being in the letter.
But then it read: "Please, let me come back home."
Requesting to return home after stating you're okay.
Your letter said that you're doing ok
Reiterating your well-being followed by a plea to come back home.
But then it read: "Please, let me come back home."
Expressing fatigue and the need for someone to belong to.
Yes, you said you were so tired, so tired baby
Stating tiredness and desire for a sense of ownership or belonging.
And you wanted someone you could call your own
Wanting companionship and a sense of belonging.
But memories don't fail me woman
Reflecting on vivid memories of the day you departed.
I remember the day you left
Reaffirming the vividness of memories about your departure.
Oh my memories don't fail me baby
Asserting the lasting impression of the day you left.
I remember the day you left
Reiterating the enduring memory of your departure.
Well you know you told me then and I believe you now woman
Recalling your statement at the time of departure about being self-reliant and grown.
That you were grown and you've been take care of yourself
Believing your claim of independence and self-care.
So now here is my answer baby
Providing a response from the heart to your letter.
And the words come straight from my heart
Expressing genuine feelings while responding to your letter.
Well, here is the answer to you letter woman
Presenting a heartfelt response to the content of your letter.
And the words come straight from my heart
Reiterating a heartfelt response to your letter's content.
Yeah it's against my will I know
Acknowledging internal conflict despite still having feelings for you.
I could love you still baby
Expressing the capacity to continue loving you.
But baby I just can't play the part
Declaring the inability to pretend or act a specific role despite residual feelings.
