Ghetto - Jamelia

Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why

Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why

In the beginning, it was you and me

The love we shared was so complete

Until your friends got in the way

Started determining the things you say

I been down for you all along

But I can't stay when it feels so wrong

Sitting by the phone late at night

You care more about your stupid nights (Boy, why?)

Why you gotta be so ghetto all the time?

You used to call me, you used to hold me tight

And do the things I like

Why you gotta be so ghetto all the time?

I really wanna stay but you must change your ways

You say that you, you gotta keep it real

Don't that include how I feel?

Don't wanna ask you to make a choice

'Cause I won't win against your boys

But it's my time to be demanding

And I need your understanding

'Cause I refuse to hold on when I feel the love you had for me is gone

Why you gotta be so ghetto all the time?

You used to call me, you used to hold me tight

And do the things I like (Tell me, tell me why?)

Why you gotta be so ghetto all the time?

I really wanna stay but you must change your ways

Boy, how do you expect our love to grow?

I can't take it no more

But I don't wanna go

Oh, no, no, no, no, wow

Look at how you've treated me

Can't you see you're hurting me?

Tell me, why you gotta be so ghetto?

Look at how you've treated me

Can't you see you're hurting me?

Tell me, why you gotta be so ghetto?

Why you gotta be so ghetto all the time?

You used to to hold me tight

And do the things I like (Tell me, tell me why?)

Why you gotta be so ghetto all the time?

I really wanna stay but you must change your ways

Let me know her name

Let me know, let me know her name

Why must you be so?

Let me know her name

Let me know, let me know her name

Why must you be so?
