Franklin Bruno - Love's Got A Ghetto lyrics
rate meIn some suburb of your heart <br />
<br />
Where lawns are manicured<br />
<br />
The safety of my memory’s assured<br />
<br />
But there’s an over crowded part <br />
<br />
Where old resentments are<br />
<br />
And multiplied by exponential love<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
But Love’s got a ghetto and it wouldn’t be wise <br />
<br />
To walk all alone in the dark there<br />
<br />
Love’s got a ghetto and I wouldn’t advise <br />
<br />
You park there<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
On some brilliant boulevard where all is gentrified<br />
<br />
You stroll with some young suitor by your side<br />
<br />
But how long can you disregard <br />
<br />
The shady side of town<br />
<br />
When all your oversights have fallen down?<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
“Why do you want to go there?”<br />
<br />
Your jealous lover sighs<br />
<br />
“Who could you possible know there?”<br />
<br />
Your racist mother cries<br />
<br />
You say you’ll be fine alone<br />
<br />
But once, dear, you were mine alone<br />
<br />
And I know otherwise<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Love’s got a ghetto and it wouldn’t be wise <br />
<br />
To walk all alone in the dark there<br />
<br />
Love’s got a ghetto and I strongly advise that you<br />
<br />
Clip on the glove when you park there<br />
<br />
Love’s got a ghetto that the businesses shun<br />
<br />
The dealer replaces the grocer<br />
<br />
Love’s got a ghetto and I’m traveling one block closer<br />
<br />
One block closer…
<br />
