Inna City Mamma Lyrics by Neneh Cherry

Inna City Mamma Lyrics

    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
    You can't break your promise

    I'm inna city hunger, you think you're tough i'm stronger
    If you're weak i'll eat you up
    I'm gonna touch you where you've never been touched before
    And by your spine i'll bruise your veins and touch your very core
    Let my concrete be your red carpet
    My shooting galleries your personal starship
    Give me all your dreams, this city loves you

    Use my roots to deliver your body
    Under my skies where you make your money
    You rejected love, but this city loves you

    Chorus:

    Inna city love, inna city mamma, inna city love
    You hurt me - real bad - inna city love
    You meant to love me and you cut me up into too many little pieces
    But i wanna love you
    I trusted you and you crushed me into a pulp
    Inna city mamma
