When I met you
I didn't know what to do, I was tired
I was hungry, I fight
Now I'm away
I write home everyday
And I see you on the TV at night

You can see that life's for us to talk about
You can leave whenever you want out
Whoa

You don't relate to me, no girl
You don't respect me, no girl
No girl, oh yeah

When I met you
I didn't know what to do
But I noticed that I didn't really feel
Now you're away
You write home everyday, I don't beg
I don't borrow, I steal

You don't think that life's for us to talk about
You can leave whenever you want out
You want out
Well, you don't relate to me
No, girl, you don't respect me
No, girl 

You don't relate to me (you can leave whenever you want out)
No girl, you don't respect me
No girl

And you don't relate to me (you can leave whenever you want out)
No girl, and you don't respect me
No girl, no girl, yeah
