Love's Got a Ghetto

歌詞

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