Rickie Lee Jones - Ghetto Of My Mind Lyrics
Saving all my money all week longSo I can go out driving with youDown on hollywood boulevardOn friday night, dressed rightI dont take no trouble smoke at the wallBut I still have that leopard-skin hatThat you gave me way backBefore it was coolAnd they took it to schoolHere in the ghettoThe ghetto of my mindY aqui, the ghettoThe ghetto of my mindHey we wild it up, wild it upI like to dance with my roonerCuz when we dance I feel likeWe are who weve meant to beHe puts his arms around meI put my arms around himAnd I feel satisfied and freeOne night I tried my bandanna around his wristsAnd we started to sway and it felt so goodAnd he said looky here mamma, looky hereI think I better just see youSafely out of the neighborhoodThat is to sayThe ghettoThe ghetto of my mindY aqui, the ghettoThe ghetto of my mindHey we wild it up, wild it upOutside my window the noise is all Ive gotThere are no stars in the skyJust the sirens and queensBreaking glass down in the parking lotThats the world where I liveSometimes I wonder, oh how can I go on ?But I know that the world you make inside your headThats the one you see around, thats what I saidAnd the one you seeIs the one you makeInside of the ghettoThe ghetto of your mindY aqui, the ghettoThe ghetto of my mindHey we wild it up, wild it up
