Gold To Ghetto Affair Lyrics - Singles - Michael Platinum

VERSE: 

THE SUN WENT DOWN 

I WALKED THROUGH TOWN 

TO THE SINGLES BAR 

HAD A COKE 

THROUGH THE SMOKE 

I COULD SEE HER SCARS 

SHE SAID "MY FIRST LOVE HAD TWO PARTS 

PRE CHORUS: 

FIRST IT WAS AN OPEN ROAD 

WE WERE YOUNG AND RUNNING FREE 

THEN JOHNNY JACK-KNIFED IN SNOW 

WHEN HE CHEATED ON ME 

WHAT A BITTER FREEZE 

CHORUS: 

LIKE A GOLD TO GHETTO AFFAIR 

LIKE A MILLIONAIRE THEN DEPENDING ON WELFARE 

TOOK HIS TAXI RIDE BUT COULDN'T PAY THE FARE 

TOOK ME TO MY FURNISHED HOUSE BUT IT WAS BARE 

WHAT A RICHES TO RAGS NIGHTMARE 

LIKE A GOLD TO GHETTO AFFAIR" 

VERSE: 

WE WALKED A BLOCK 

ON THE COOL BOARDWALK 

THEN DOWN TO THE SEA 

MY SPIRIT BLED 

FROM THE WORDS SHE SAID 

SHE CRIED "I'M NOT FREE 

OH HERE'S WHAT HAPPENED TO ME 

PRE CHORUS 

FIRST WE SPOKE WITH THE DOLPHINS 

WHEN WE LIVED IN HARMONY 

THEN I WAS CIRCLED BY TEN SHARKS 

AND SCREAMED A TRAGIC MELODY 

THAT WAS THE END OF ME 

CHORUS: 

LIKE A GOLD TO GHETTO AFFAIR 

LIKE A MILLIONAIRE THEN DEPENDING ON WELFARE 

TOOK HIS TAXI RIDE BUT COULDN'T PAY THE FARE 

TOOK ME TO MY FURNISHED HOUSE BUT IT WAS BARE 

WHAT A RICHES TO RAGS NIGHTMARE 

LIKE A GOLD TO GHETTO AFFAIR 

BRIDGE: 

"I TOOK A GAMBLE AND TOOK A FALL 

THE CARDS WERE STACKED AND I LOST IT ALL" 

REPEAT CHORUS:
