You ran away with your conscience clear
there was a red flag waving in my ear
saying stay away you've got somethin to fear
ooh why did i not choose to hear
well i am through with suffering
gonna make better choices
i dont need no wedding ring
i can sing
i can dance
but i cant make this feeling cease

'cause deep in my soul u left a permanent crease
we all got our cross to bear
our star of david
our dreadlocked hair
oh yeah baby i still care
and if u need some help you know i'll always be there

well it's been a, a strange year you've been a very bad dog
as my fire whent out, you put on another log
but it was worth never having any peace

'cause deep in my soul u left a permanent crease
we all got our cross to bear
our star of david
our dreadlocked hair
oh yeah baby i still care
and if u need some help you know that I'll still be there

some nights i thought i'd cry forever
i'd wish him away
and then id turn into a beggar
it was worth always scrapin' my knees
and deep in my soul you left a permanent crease

o i, i wear my heart like a wrinkle on my sleeve
and  i got this achin' love that only you can relieve
but i'm, im not afraid to go down with a sinking friend
gonna live out my dreams even if they kill me in the end

'cause deep in my soul u left a permanent crease
we all got our cross to bear
our star of david
our dreadlocked hair
oh yeah baby i still care
and if u need some help you know i'll always be there
