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