Analysis of Satan and saint
Saima Abdul Hamid 1994 (Dubai)
You and me
We are like
Satan and saint
One keeps hurting
The other keeps bearing
Our love
Is like a war
U win
I lose
U keep striking
I keep defending
Our relationship
Is like a game
U keep abandoning
I keep staying
You and me
We are like
Satan and saint...
