lyrics

Heartbreak Ghetto
©1999 Ola Onabule

Verse 1
If I were you and you were me
I would be good to me
And ever so true to me
But you’re never good to me

Seems to me you got some nerve
Faking your empathy
A flash of humanity
But it ain’t for the good of me

Bridge
You say in the right , don’t got no rights
not necessarily
But I know
Got no rights has got to fight cos I - I - I

Chorus
Can’t let you do what you’ve done best
Building your heart break ghetto
Wont let you do what you’ve done best
Building your heart break ghetto!

Verse 2
Tho' I’m blind I feel the tears
Of losing my dignity
The things that you do to me
Will burn for eternity

I am honed, I stand prepared
To find all the good in you
The best you can hope to do
Is all that I’ve been to you

Solo
