Where Are You

(Lokua Kanza)
I've been looking for you
Everyone else sees me
I've been searching for you
My love, my dear
Who doth remember the one I adore
Love has found me at last, I'm sure
Who would sing me songs
Of love's praises
Where are you, (bis) yes, oh yes
Where are you oh love, where have you gone
Where are you oh where are you love of mine
If today you tell me you reject me
Where will I go and who will I be
Mama ah ah
Who doth remember the one I adore
Love has found me at last, I'm sure
Who would sing me songs
Of love's praises
Where are you, (bis) yes, oh yes
Where are you oh love of mine
Love of mine, if you leave me, who then
Will love me
Yes... (where are you my love)
Where are you (bis)
Chorus: love of mine
Spoken voice: love of mine if you should leave me
Who will love me like you do
Who if not you, who
Love of mine
Chorus: where are you
If you leave me, who will love me
Where are you (ad lib)
