"Ghetto" lyrics

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?
