The Cure

THE CURE 2000 (Sokoto)



Why do you always forgive
Why do you care about me
Why do you still associate with me Even when you knew like a dog I'll go back to my vomit
Why bother to wash me.... With hyssop make me clean
When you knew that I'm a pig, I will always go back to my pigsty
You Embrace me even though I come with my filth
Hold me tight with all my dirt and poo How can you see everything I do and still love me the way you do
In my world One would say you're a fool You see all, you know all S
o why even try to cure
For as they say a leopard can never change it's spot.
This is Ugliness I bare... My sickness. Nevertheless, You shower me with Love For you know Love is the Cure.
