As a youth, each sunday, dawn went to church and
Paid her respects and not to mention was a virgin.
Kid pushed up, dawn lettin him
Since he made her laugh and all the other girls was sweatin him.
Then things started to move without cause
And a couple omonths later kids pushin for the drawers.
Under pressure while exchangin glances
Dawn finally gives in to the sexual advances.
Although it was a mad high cost for her
Cuz after the thrill was gone, so was the lust for her.
Eventually he left her for another.
Now feeling alone and betrayed by her lover
She cried--for no longer knew which way she headed.
Once dreamed of actually wearing white at her wedding
And really being pure, now she thought shed die without.
Still she finds strength to continue with her life without
Love...
Without love...
Without love...
Without love...
Verse two of dawns life--the second segment.
What could be worse than to now find out youre pregnant?
Poor dawn couldnt sleep--laid awake
Not ready for a child and plus her mothers gonna break.
As she doesnt know how shes gonna bring up the subject,
Consequences of being used as an object.
In church though times runnin thin
She decides to have the child because the doesnt want to sin.
Props to the girl although it hit hard times;
It was hell finishin school and working part-time.
Yet dawn did it though her youth went to waste.
Little help from the government, she got her own place.
Hard for an indepentant woman and a kid
And as soon as she could get off the assistance, she did.
Without no man who she once thought shed die without
Still she finds the strength to continue with her life without
Love...
Life without love...
Life without love...
Continue with her life without love...
While dawn worked two jobs tryin to meet ends,
Her son was busy cuttin school and hangin with his friends.
So when she got words she tried to slap out the taste in his mouth
And explain how important education is.
Under stress, she takes two bufferin.
Son now tired of seein his poor mother sufferin.
Starts to sell drugs though the cops did a raid.
Guess whos in the mix, and being legal age
Could do time, please call her employer
To inform her that her son is gonna need a lawyer.
Never no good news, just more strife.
Dawn barely havin enough time to live her own life.
Heres the judges sentence, beggin and pleadin.
Now spends nine hours on the bus to go and see him.
Heres the judges sentence, beggin and pleadin.
Now spends nine hours on the bus to goa nd see him.
Without no man who she once thought shed die without
Still she finds the strength to continue with her life without
Love...
Life without love...
Life without love...
Life without love...
Continues life without love...
