Nobody matters like you"

Facing the hard life without no fear (Yeah)

Inna rum bar, can't find him nowhere
Steadily your work flow heavily, you know
So you're non-stop, no time, no time for ya dear

Now she got a six-year-old
Tryin' to keep him warm
Tryin' to keep out the cold
When he looks in her eyes

I'm gonna give you all of my love
Nobody matters like you"

He don't know he's safe when she says

She tells him, "Ooh, love
No one's ever gonna hurt you, love
I'm gonna give you all of my love
Nobody matters like you"
