Sidewalks of the Ghetto - Eternity's Children

Sidewalks of the Ghetto Lyrics

On the sidewalks of the ghetto
Take it from someone who out to know
we play the games that children play
Nothing more
From the alleys of the ghetto
I took a boy who didn't love me and would play
all the games that children play
and a little more
In the darkness of the ghetto
My world came tumblin' down
and now I'm wearing
scarlet ribbons in my hair
inviting trouble everywhere
(Mister? have you got a dime?)

In the middle of the ghetto
there's a little church where people go
and even though they say that I'm forgiven
not many mean it
Back on the sidewalks of the ghetto
my nights just never seem to end
and no one takes the time to watch the children
playing games
On the sidewalks of the ghetto
On the sidewalks of the ghetto
On the sidewalks of the ghetto
