Mama Told Me
Keisha Jackson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tak mudah aku jalani
Hidupku tanpamu di sisi
Hari-hari ku tangisi
Segala memori janji ku mungkiri

Engkau masih aku rindu
Walau tak pernah engkau tahu
Hanya satu harapanku
Moga kau selalu maafkan diriku

Aku lepas semua pergi
Bukan kerna aku benci
Tapi kerna ku terlalu mencintai

Percayalah oh sayangku
Nikmati dulu usiamu




Nanti kau temu cintamu
Bukan aku
