Inna City Mamma Lyrics - Singles - 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 

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 

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 

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
