Says Shaida:
Myself your servant O let me call
And a sense of Justice in me install
And me with compassion O please enthrall
And make me strong and make me tall
But make me loving, most of all
O God, O God, O please my God
Okay, okay, you may be right
But baby it's a beautiful night
So let's drink and lets get tight
And let's be loving and let's not fight
Sure I've loved some girls before
But I love you more, a whole lot more
