Neneh Cherry - Inna City Mamma Lyrics
New york - just like I pictured it - skyscrapers and everythingInna city love, you crushed me into a pulp - I trusted youWhen I loved you from a distanceAnd your skyline made me a promiseIn my safe world to be somebodyIn your city to own your streetsWhere Id strut covered in moneyShattered dreams. it aint funnyNow I look at you with tears in my eyesThe good the bad the uglyAs I start to cry I search for the skyTaste the breeze and watch a block of docking clouds, theyre coming.Chorus:Inna city mammaYou bore another child to be victim ofYour cold blooded waysInna city loveFrom the gutterSo destructive when you sing your bluesI want to love you babyI dont mean maybe baby, but I need everything you gotYou cant break your promiseIm inna city hunger, you think youre tough Im strongerIf youre weak Ill eat you upIm gonna touch you where youve never been touched beforeAnd by your spine Ill bruise your veins and touch your very coreLet my concrete be your red carpetMy shooting galleries your personal starshipGive me all your dreams, this city loves youUse my roots to deliver your bodyUnder my skies where you make your moneyYou rejected love, but this city loves youChorus:Inna city love, inna city mamma, inna city loveYou hurt me - real bad - inna city loveYou meant to love me and you cut me up into too many little piecesBut I wanna love youI trusted you and you crushed me into a pulpInna city mamma
