Franklin Bruno Love's Got A Ghetto Lyrics

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
