Guns In The Ghetto by Ub40
Daddy dont go out tonight
Just stay home till morning light
Me and mamma dont feel right
Please hold us tight
Daddy why did you go to work
When you know just how much we love you so
Please come back tomorrow
Chorus
Theyre giving out guns in the ghetto
Theyre saying they will set you free
One day Ill have children of my own
But Im afraid they wont have me
Mamma, is daddy home
Why are you crying all alone
Grandmas tears have turned to stone
And Im all alone
Mamma isnt daddy back
Im getting scared and thats a fact
Why are we all dressed like that
All in black
Repeat chorus
Daddy dont go out tonight
Please stay home till morning light
Me and mamma dont feel right
Please hold us tight
Daddy why did you go to work
When you know just how much we love you so
Please come back tomorrow
Repeat chorus
Mamma, is daddy home
Why are you crying all alone
Grandmas tears have turned to stone
And Im chilled to the bone
Mamma isnt daddy back
Im getting scared and thats a fact
Why are we all dressed like that
All in black
Repeat chorus four times
Just stay home till morning light
Me and mamma dont feel right
Please hold us tight
Daddy why did you go to work
When you know just how much we love you so
Please come back tomorrow
Chorus
Theyre giving out guns in the ghetto
Theyre saying they will set you free
One day Ill have children of my own
But Im afraid they wont have me
Mamma, is daddy home
Why are you crying all alone
Grandmas tears have turned to stone
And Im all alone
Mamma isnt daddy back
Im getting scared and thats a fact
Why are we all dressed like that
All in black
Repeat chorus
Daddy dont go out tonight
Please stay home till morning light
Me and mamma dont feel right
Please hold us tight
Daddy why did you go to work
When you know just how much we love you so
Please come back tomorrow
Repeat chorus
Mamma, is daddy home
Why are you crying all alone
Grandmas tears have turned to stone
And Im chilled to the bone
Mamma isnt daddy back
Im getting scared and thats a fact
Why are we all dressed like that
All in black
Repeat chorus four times
