lyrics

Verse 1
Has it tapped on your door
Has it stepped at your door
Did it come in the morning
Shall it come in the evening
Wearing you away
Ready to
To take you home

Chorus
Mwen dézèspéwé (I’m desperate)
Mwen an désespwa X4 (In despair)

Verse 2
Papa oui oui I’m selfish
Cause I want, want you here
Cherish Cherish your loved ones
For when they’re gone
You’re all alone
Those sweet memories
Guide me along

Chorus
Mwen dézèspéwé (I’m desperate)
Mwen an désespwa X8 (In despair)
(Guide me along)
Oh my my
Ooooooh

Instrumental Solo

Chorus
Mwen dézèspéwé (I’m desperate)
Mwen an désespwa X10 (In despair)
(Guide me along)
I’m desperate
In despair x2
