Lyrics

BETROTHED'S LAMENT

I've been looking out for you,
For so very long now,
You come and say you've found someone,
Your planning to take your vows.
You tell me "Dad now he's the one."
You've known him such a short time,
But that's not what I think about,
What really goes through my mind.
Heaven help the boy if he should ever plan to do you wrong.
No need to eulogize or apologize, cuz he's rapped his last song.

I can see that look in your eyes,
Telling me it's alright,
A penny's just the going price,
You dream about him all night.
I need to feel your sure heart,
And see his facing your way,
Cuz when it comes right down to it,
All I've got to say is.....
Heaven help the boy if he should ever plan to do you wrong.
No need to eulogize or apologize, cuz he's rapped his last song.
