The Soldiers Came and Broke Up My Life (#2)

by Lord Invader

on Calypso in New York (2000)

I was living with a decent and contented wife
But the soldiers came and broke up my life
I was living with a decent and contented wife
But the soldiers came and broke up my life

For, every Sunday she go Arima
Headin' for treat with a soldier
And when she leavin', she'll tell me "Darling
Kiss me on me cheek, I would be back in the morning"

Before the landing of the Yankees
Anything I did my wife she never be displeased
But if I play fresh now and talk hard
You can imagine how the woman would get on bad

Lord, and If I strike her, she'll bawl for murder
And then threaten me both the judge and her lawyer
She said, "Invader, have some behavior
Before I send you for a time at Carrera"

All my friends started to give me jokes
Saying how this soldier hitting me strokes
They told me that I am a stupid young fella
And my wife minding a Yankee soldier

I got so mad I went Arima
And I met her, at the hotel drinking with the soldier
She said, "Invader, this is me mister
I has to love him, he can romance me better"

When I saw what was my wife intention
I decided to change up my mind and plan
So I started to plead most impressive
Ly
I told her "Honey, would you make back with me?"

I told her "Ah do-do darling
You should remember that we promised to love one another"
She said, "Invader, do me a favor
Try and get a girlfriend and leave me with me soldier"
