When I talk about Biafra, They say leave it and move on And now on Mandy, You say leave it and move on
If I leave Mandy, I'd be leaving my heart I'd be leaving my will And my manhood discarded
Mandy makes me true Mandy makes me real Above all she makes me, ME It's her or nothing
Thro the pains of this life Nay this death, The princess shines fairer Yes fairer than the fairest
Since I got my "dear John" I'm not half the man I was She made me full, And now I'm but just a fool
The princess was my East She was my west, North 'n' South Losing her is losing my grounding She was all I knew about reference & datum
Ah! my pangs is not one bottles will assuage Neither will this rent heart know calm Until they tell me it is not true Until with my flower I'm one again
Mandy, Mandy Oh Mandy! I thot you want what I want The freshness of innocence And the uravelling of my honest past
Now I know that I'm the fool For with apologies to Rudolph I'd moved forward by looking back I shouldn't have confessed !
~OU

Your heart is not open so I must go The spell has been broken...I loved you so Freedom comes when you learn to let go You were my lesson I had to learn I was your fortress you had to burn
There's nothing left to try There's no place left to hide There's nothing left to lose There's no more heart to bruise There's no greater power than the power of goodbye I yearn to say goodbye
P/S: Wish I can use the graemlins. Can't be activated here.
How lovely the mountain is tonite I've never seen it look so beautiful! It seems like a tired, resigned soul, Under the cover of this pale moon.
You who do not weep, and make me weep, Where are you tonite? I want to be with you! These eyes want To see you once more!
How calm the mountain tonite.... I've never seen it so calm! And everything is asleep or dead, And only I am awake -Because love is awake
+++++++++++++++++++++ +Me, the clown+
Make a joke out of your heartache & tears A funny face out of your sobs of pain..... Laugh, Clown, over your shattered love! Laugh over the pain, which is poisoning your heart!

Since you ever got tired of me I won't look for someone new Cause if they try to win this heart of mine I'll just tell them, now, don't waste your time
I have been loved by the best Can settle not for less Why bother with the rest Babe I've been to the top, I guess With you I've been blest I won't take nothing less I've been loved by the best
>>>yeah, his(Chiboy's) home boy is my hero. For I'm a love rat, kiss 'n' tell and a cheat!
Sure you don't wanna change your mind?<<<
Did you say the above just to make me jealous, but never anticipated that I'd walk away, instead? This is probably going thru your mind right now...
I brought flowers to your door last night I've done you wrong and I wanna make it right You said I'm not welcome here I know it ought to be perfectly clear But I can't help wonder what it might have been
If I have two dozen roses and the choicest botle of wine If I could cry a little harder and get a little less sleep at night If I could really hang the moon Would you change your mind?
Oh I must have been a fool back there To loose something that I can't have again I've done all that I know to do You second-guess my every move I can't help but wonder how it might have been
Do you really feel this way?

Ah! Amucha, Plead with her, Nay, tell her that I, Ohafia Udumeze know when, I'm not wanted
If I were a beggar, Or born in chains, Then will I speak kneeling, But from the nobility of my soul, Have I let vent of every feeling.
How my granpa will rue in his grave, Can this weak, love-sick thing be him? For he was a leader of men True blue and not lacking in friends Nor did he have need to beg for acceptance.
Tell Mandy I must now go, For as I felt have I spoken Nothing with'holding, Yeah, I'll thump my breast in pride And say I did it my way!
Yet I'll take with me memories Both of what was and what is Yeah, I have to say it, And that loud and clear It was fun while it lasted And it was or is a parting well made for que sera sera What will be will be!
I must now return to my 1st love My Biafra, the land of my Birth My blest land of the rising sun Yeah, let the palm trees clap And the ugba pods explode The true prodigal is homeward bound And this time it's for real Hail Biafra, my land, my mother and my father Hail Biafra my first and true love!

Yeah, it was fun while it lasted Your mind's made up, my hands are tied But thru it all nothing's really changed Tis true love that sets you free What's meant to be'll always find a way
Biafra is my true love Africa tugs at me I never had a thing for America He only satiated a need I have
Biafra hunts my dreams at night And stalks my waking hours She entices me morn and eve The rhapsody of her being captivates my soul
She teases my senses and mesmerizes my heart I have an unquenchable yearning for her Tell her I love her so For only in her bossom will I find home

OU, I would have forgiven you had you not found a continuous hero in a scoundrel, and promise to be true to me. Would I look the other way while you betray me with infidelity?

You know I can't act me for obvious reasons!
Best wishes Amanda.
Lets move on!

Unmasking a big Ohafia masquerade will result in a lot of heads rolling in different directions. It is an abomination.
I'm not an actor, only a Biafran

Yesterday All my troubles seemed so far away Now it looks as though They're here to stay Oh! I believe in yesterday
Suddenly I'm not half the man I used to be There's a shadow hanging over me Oh yesterday came suddenly
Why she had to go I don't know She wouldn't say I said something wrong Now I long for yesterday
Yesterday Love was such an easy game to play Now I need a place to hide away Oh! I believe in yesterday
Mandy Oh Mandy, Lets start again There's a song in my heart You never let me sing It is a song about you
Mandy oh Mandy My lonely heart Has learnt its lessons Two indeed is better than one gi'me a second chance.....

I ought to know what it's like to lose at love I've done it enough and I ought to know But then you came my way and throw away the fear of pain I won't lose again this time I know
I've got a winner in you No way I can lose A love I can hold on to
I got a winner in you
I know how it feels when you try and try again Then you never win I know how it feels Although this time around I finally found what its all about They write songs about the way that I feel

Oh my God, it has gone far and there is now a heartache. Before you know it, someone will start pulling the trigger. Know ye that there are too many fishes in the sea.
Amanda: By the way, do you think I am becoming jealous?

You know I'd gladly have you back, my endless love. No one can love me the unique way you love me.The way your voice becomes soft whispery caress as you call out my name, and your smouldering eyes betrays your deep love and need for me. I'm lost in your intoxicating sensuous embrace and scent as my heart deserts me. I don't mind. Welcome home!
I have never felt like this I never thot I'd know The kind of love you've shown me This is not like me at all Sometimes I'm lost for words Your smile has really thrown me
Now no matter where I am No matter what I do I see your face appearing Like an unexpected song Only we are hearing ~~~~ The most beautiful sound I ever heard Amanda, Amanda All those wonderful sounds in a single word Amanda , Amanda
I just met a girl called Amanda And suddenly I found How wonderful a sound can be
Amanda, I just met a girl called Amanda And suddenly I found How wonderful a sound can be
Amanda, Say it loud and it's like music playing Say it soft and it's almost like praying I'll never stop saying Amanda Amanda, Amanda.....
PS: All lifted from West side stories/phantom of the opera. BTW, seems I'm more creative in the "heart break" mode. What do you think?

The very thot of you And I forget to do The little ordinary things That everyone ought to do I'm living in a kind of daydream And I'm happy as a king And foolish though it may seem To me that's everything
The mere idea of you The longing here for you You'll never know How slow the moments go Till I'm near to you I see your face in every flower your eyes in stars above It's just the thot of you The very thot of you my love..
PS: Do you understand Italiano or Spanish or even French?

Hmm...Please don't knock meoff my seat, I'm barely standing. You know that "version" is hardly romantic. Don't kill me with embarassed laughter, use the central version.

I think I'll stick to English or even Espanol. I speak a wide variety of Igbo but writing it has always been a problem.
I understood what you wrote though but you didn't say it's addressed to me as well. I like being wooed as well you know!
