Funmilayo
Fun-mi-la-yo
While busy with my meal
The thought of you reveals
In my heart... with so much crave and zeal
In me...i know its the seal
To follow you anywhere you go in my heart for real
Till this moment...as you can see
Fun-mi-la-yo..as your name implies
Let me drink from the fountain of your joyous love
Your beauty is so robust... it's telling me
That you are real...and my feelings do not lie
I will follow you till I'm filled with your joy
I'm waiting for you by the mall
Just come out from where you are standing
And walk through the hall
Look ahead the garden labeled 'small'
By the mall...
I stood 6" ft tall
Beside the water fall
Behind me by the wall
Is written "lovers zone"
I am on a red T-Shirt designed on it, a football
As i declare in my heart
My feeling for you is real...i shall not fall
I can identify it with my feelings
As am inspired to ask you...will you be mine?
Since I am not ashamed of my feelings about you
And I am not ashamed to reveal my feelings to you
The other day “I asked my friends one day
If they had been with someone without feelings
Or if they know someone without thoughts.
And none of them could identify with anybody
But they said, people may choose not to admit how they feel
Or may ignore the feelings they have for someone special as you are
Yet I have chosen to reveal to you how I feel
They said, others may choose not to express their beautiful thoughts
But I have chosen to express my love to you
Since I have the right to my feelings
And I have chosen to express them to you at moment.
Since we are human being
And within each of us is a longing to be with each other.
As we walk and work, as we look and behold,
As we touch and feel, as we listen and hear
As we talk and relate, as we taste and recognize,
And as we know and become aware of each other-as I am to you.
We naturally are appealing to one another
As you are to me now
And my feelings for you is true
Except i choose to deny the true feelings
So it is in my will that I choose to reveal it,
It is also in my choice to repress it or deny it.
But I have chosen to tell you that I love you...
Fun-mi-la-yo
Even as i imagine that you are mine
I am feeling that would you be able to bear my selfishness?
And I hope that my expectations about you
Won’t discourage you from accepting me?
As I demand for your attention
Won’t you feel so weary to give your consent?
Or won’t you rather ignore me?
As I'm feeling... will you accept me for who I am?
