Ghetto Love Story - Ne-Yo

(talking)
In the ghetto
Things don't always turn out the way
You would expect them to
That's how it goes
Its real life
Check it

She was a brick house bangin
Ill shoe game and
No regular cat could get that
She only wanted two things
A puppy and a man that
Wanted more than to just hit that

Well out on the block
What did she spot a
Pretty thug walkin a baby rot wiler

Pow
They caught eyes
It was love at first sight
Crazy how somethin that seems so right can go wroongg
See it didn't take too long
For her to see just what this dude was on

He was a good dude true and deep
But he liked to make his money runnin the street
So she hit him with its either the block or me
And the beautiful thing suddenly ugly

But that's how it goes
See that aint nothin but a ghetto love story
And in the ghetto
It doesn't always have a happy ending

But that's how it goes
See that aint nothin but a ghetto love story
And in the ghetto
It doesn't always have a happy ending
But that's how it goes

So she stay maintain and
She don't wana be alone
But every time he leave the house
She be worried bout
If hes even gona come back home

It seems no matter what she say
He must make that paper just
Gotta get his hustle on

But it hurts him to his heart cus his love is strong
And though hes tryna make things right for her
All she see's is wrong
All he can do is keep on
Cus she don't understand just what hes on

You see he loved her true and deep
But he had to make his paper in these streets
So she hit him with its either the block or me
And the beautiful thing suddenly ugly

But that's how it goes
See that aint nothin but a ghetto love story
And in the ghetto
It doesn't always have a happy ending

But that's how it goes
See that aint nothin but a ghetto love story
And in the ghetto
It doesn't always have a happy ending
