Inna City Mamma by Neneh Cherry
New York - Just like I pictured it - skyscrapers and everything
Inna city love, you crushed me into a pulp - I trusted you
When I loved you from a distance
And your skyline made me a promise
In my safe world to be somebody
In your city to own your streets
Where I'd strut covered in money
Shattered dreams. It ain't funny
Now I look at you with tears in my eyes
The good the bad the ugly
As I start to cry I search for the sky
Taste the breeze and watch a block of docking clouds, they're coming.
Chorus:
Inna City Mamma
You bore another child to be victim of
Your cold blooded ways
Inna city love
From the gutter
So destructive when you sing your blues
I want to love you baby
I don't mean maybe baby, but I need everything you got
