If it was up to me, I would be climbing trees just for the heck of it …
But then Mama said, “We will buy you some pretty frocks for your birthday this week "
Frocks never made it easy to climb those trees.
If it was up to me, I would come home with muddy feet…
But then Mama said “You ought to be playing at home. Give up your tom boyish ways."
If it was up to me, I would be whistling away melodies.
But then Mama said, "Young girls ought to have a shy demeanor. How can you be so un fille?"
If it was up to me, I would be playing cricket in the gully…
But then Mama said,” Pretty girls ought to have a fair complexion. You ain't going to play with those boys no more".
If it was up to me, I would never be cooking …
But then Mama said "It helps to start early. Good wives make perfect Rotis"
If it was up to me, I would never give up so much..
But then Mamma said "You are turning into a fine young Woman, Simi!"
If it was up to me I would never be on this Journey…
