Brooklyn The Musical movie - Love Me Where I Live lyrics
rate me<br>
Paradice:<br>
I was born on mean street baby<br>
Right across from ugly road<br>
You were born on Sweet Lane, baby<br>
Had tem things I've never know<br>
<br>
Now I got what you want, baby<br>
And if you want me to give,<br>
Sacrifice your paradise<br>
Love me where I live<br>
<br>
(spoken) Trash never looked do good, huh?<br>
<br>
(sung) I was raised on hustle baby<br>
You were raised on Sunday school<br>
I was raised on riot, baby<br>
You were raised on golden rule<br>
<br>
I can raise you heartbeat, baby<br>
Can you take what I can give?<br>
Sacrifice your paradise<br>
Love me where I live<br>
<br>
(spoken) I call this Salvation Armani.<br>
<br>
(sung) You can't get me off with diamonds<br>
<br>
All:<br>
No, no, no<br>
<br>
Paradice:<br>
My jewelry is dice<br>
My body's rich for what you itch<br>
But you gotta pay my price…<br>
Love me where I live<br>
<br>
(spoken) You know, I've been hearing some rumblings out there, <br>
sayin' that my time is done, that I should just accept my fate. <br>
Funny thing, it seems whenever me and fate go toe to toe, <br>
it's always fate that does the… no show.<br>
<br>
(sung)I'll walk into a lighting storm<br>
With metal in my fist<br>
Daring fate to strike me down<br>
But you know it's gonna miss<br>
<br>
I'll curse inside the house of God<br>
Or any church I please<br>
'Cause I don't bow to no one, baby<br>
Nothin gets me on my knees<br>
And you like me for that<br>
<br>
All:<br>
I like you for that<br>
<br>
Paradice:<br>
I wanna hear you like me for that<br>
<br>
All:<br>
I like you for that<br>
<br>
Paradice:<br>
Oh, yeah, you like me for that<br>
<br>
All:<br>
I like you for that<br>
<br>
Paradice:<br>
Love me where I live<br>
<br>
You can tie me to a railroad track<br>
And let that diesel run<br>
But you'll never see a drop of sweat<br>
'Cause temping fate is fun<br>
<br>
I'll tap dance on a minefield<br>
And never feel a thing<br>
You can throw me in the lion's den<br>
But guess who comes out king<br>
And you like me for that<br>
<br>
All:<br>
I like you for that<br>
<br>
Paradice:<br>
Oh yeah, you like me for that<br>
<br>
All:<br>
I like you for that<br>
<br>
Paradice:<br>
I wanna hear that you like me for that<br>
<br>
<br>
All:<br>
I like you for that<br>
<br>
Paradice:<br>
Oh, baby, love me where I live<br>
<br>
(spoken)Oo, well hello there, Mr. four-car garage, suburban home, <br>
1 wife, 2.3 kids, 2 dogs, 1 cat, 1 mistress, Armani wearin', <br>
Wall Street Journal bearin', <br>
Cuban smokin' Republican votin' magnanimous and magnificent hunk of a man!<br>
<br>
Yeah, I know what you're thinkin':<br>
"That Ms. Paradice is one bad motha…"<br>
<br>
All:<br>
(spoken)Shut yo' mouth!<br>
<br>
Paradice:<br>
(spoken) And you like me for that.<br>
<br>
(sung) Hey, bury me in Red Hook, baby<br>
Right there in my neighborhood<br>
And when you die, I know you wanna<br>
Rest in peace in Hollywood<br>
<br>
But you ain't restin' nowhere, baby<br>
'Til you get a piece of this<br>
Sacrifice your paradise<br>
Love me where I…<br>
<br>
All:<br>
You got to love me<br>
You got to love me<br>
<br>
Paradice:<br>
Sacrifice your paradise<br>
Love me where I live<br>
<br>
All:<br>
You got to love me<br>
You got to love me<br>
<br>
Paradice:<br>
Sacrifice your paradise<br>
Love me where I live<br>
<br>
(spoken) Well, America, I sung for you. I danced for you. <br>
I bared my soul for you. I made you laugh, I made you think, and I made you mad. <br>
You loved me and you loathed me and you made me rice… <br>
and that's the American way… and I play that game well.<br>
Oh, but I got a message for you this evenin'; if you turn your back on me now, <br>
if you turn your back on me now, <br>
if you turn your back on me now America, you can all kiss my black ass!<br>
<br>
<br>
