Testo Ms. Martha - Curtis Mayfield
Testo della canzone Ms. Martha (Curtis Mayfield), tratta dall'album New World Order
She sat on her porch
Everyday, about past noon
But from her eyes
I just see her sad and blue
(Ms Martha)
Is there anything I can do for you
She'd say
no my son
the lord will see me through
(alright)
Her little one is sick
His name is little ray
(little ray)
Red in his eyes
And all he knows is getting paid
Sell her soul to the devil
If he could
Mrs Martha, she do her best
Like, we know, she always would
Sometimes I'm up
And times I'm down
It's like one way in
And no way out
But we all should know each other
And spread love around the world
Not hate amongst each other
Like Ms Martha
(like Ms Martha)
Yeah, yeah
Like Ms Martha
(like Ms Martha)
Oooh, oh yeah
Like Ms Martha
(Ms Martha)
(Ms Martha)
Like Ms Martha
(like Ms Martha)
Ooh, yeah
Stand out of place
Just to see the winks
Never much to say
Kept an empty face
Ms Martha
Could it be she just doesn't have a man
Or maybe
We just don't understand
Alright
There are so many things
I wish to do for you
Follow your heart
To make the dreams come true
She said
The reason why I haven't passed away
I live to make sure you see a better day
Sometimes I'm up
And times I'm down
It's like one way in
And no way out
But we all should know each other
And spread love around the world
Not hate (not hate)
Amongst each other
Like Ms Martha
Sometimes I'm up
And times I'm down
It's like one way in
And no way out
But we all should know each other
And spread love around the world
Not hate amongst each other
(not hate amongst each other)
Like Ms Martha
Sometimes I'm up
And times I'm down
It's like one way in
And no way out
