Lyrics
Met this fine girl from Ghana
She from Ashanti tribe and she lives in Accra
Found out that she really like me
And I asked her can I be your man and she said yes
We dated for a couple of years then we
Settled down that we should get married
She said that we
We should go to her hometown
Where we can go see her daddy
So we can ask him for his blessings yeah
And for him to teach us lessons yeah
We asked daddy for blessing and
Daddy said no that he don't want his baby to be with a Nigerian man
That he wants an Ashanti man o
That she'll need a real good man that will Treat her right and that's not Nigerian
I need freedom to love like I want to
And if you love me like you say you do
You'll give me freedom to love like I want to
And if love is a crime then I am a criminal
Call the police arrest me when you see me now
Cuz if you say you love me
You'll give me freedom to love who I want to
Freedom to love oh
I sat down and I start to wonder
What I'll tell her father
To accept my offer eh
He told me that I shouldn't bother
That he got another man that can love her well
I told him that she really like me
And she want us to be together forever
He said I should go back to my country
I should go back to my city
That I'll see girls that will really like me
I'll still get a pretty wifey
But I told him that I loved his daughter
And she stepped out that moment and said
Daddy no no no
I've been listening to u since I was born
But gimme this one chance to make my o o own decisions
Just gimme the choice of love
I need freedom to love like I want to
And if you love me like you say you do
You'll give me freedom to love like I want to
And if love is a crime then I am a criminal
Call the police arrest me when you see me now
