[Verse 1]

I love you my hard Englishman

Your rage is like a fist in my womb

Can't you forgive what you think I've done?

And love me, I'm your woman

And I desire you my, hard Englishman

And there is no more natural thing

So why should I not get loving?

Don't be cold, Englishman


[Chorus]

How come you've never said you love me

In all the time you've known me?

How come you never say you're sorry

And I do?


[Verse 2]

Ah, please talk to me Englishman

What good will shutting me out get done?

Meanwhile crazies are killing our sons

Oh listen, Englishman

I've honoured you, hard Englishman

Now I am calling your heart to my own

Oh, let glorious love be done

Be truthful, Englishman


[Chorus]

How come you've never said you love me

In all the time you've known me?

How come you never say you're sorry

And I do?

I do
