Ghetto Girl

Eric Benet


(feat. Me'Shell Ndegeocello) 

Ghetto baby 
I'm in need of something 
That I lost along the way 
You know that money's cool 
But it makes my world so strange 
Now I got ladies talking to me 
But they ain't got shit to say 
It's like I've come this far just to miss simpler days 
I need to feel her tonight 
Deeper love with honesty 
I've seen a million girls 
But there's just one kind for me 

[Chorus:] 

A ghetto girlliving in a ghetto world 
A ghetto girlI like her 'cause she keeps it real 
A ghetto girlshe lets me know just how she feels 
There's only one girl for me 

She won't never leave me guessing 
Always let me know the deal 
You know that ghetto love is always on the real 
She got inner city struggles 
And her blood runs deep in me 
So when we make love we feel mad history 
Well I'm not trying to put nobody down 
In this superficial world 
But if you need deeper love 
You better find you a ghetto girl 

[Chorus:] 

A ghetto girlliving in a ghetto world 
(Brother you love who you please) 
A ghetto girlI like her 'cause she keeps it real 
(But it's a sister girl for me) 
A ghetto girlshe lets me know just how she feels 
(It's that ghetto love I need) 

[Bridge:] 

There's only one girl for me 
Girl if they tried 
They would see you like I do 
Hold your head up high 
There's no one above you 
With you by my side girl 
There's nothing that I can't do 
I've been around the world enough for me to see 
Boy you best believe 
It's going to be ghetto girls for me 

Ghetto girl, ghetto girl 
Ghetto girl, ghetto girl
