Princely Ghetto Tab

                           "PRINCELY GHETTO"

       VERSE 1:

                       
A lesser girl might have just given up 
                          
But I stopped listening to my mind 
                     
And still I summon the will to chase you 
                    
Like you've committed a crime 
               
I just want what's mine 


                               
So I watched the sun through the dust off my tires 
                
As I sped my way to you 
                      
And I’ve told myself so many damned lies 
                                 
Often times I don't even know what's true 
          
Color my baby blue 


       CHORUS:

                        
And the light spilled out around us 
                   
So I wore it like stiletto 
                        
And you shoulda hid but I gotcha kid 
                    
Ain't this a princely ghetto


       VERSE 2:

                 
My fingers on your faded blue jeans 
                      
Where my eyes had already been 
                             
You're not too young, don't be scared, nothing's wrong 
                     
Did your mama say it's a sin? 
        
Just let me in 


       CHORUS:

                        
And the light spilled out around us 
                   
So I wore it like stiletto 
                        
And you shoulda hid but I gotcha kid 
                    
Ain't this a princely ghetto


       VERSE 1 (reprise):

                       
A lesser girl might have just given up 
                          
But I stopped listening to my mind 
                     
And still I summon the will to chase you 
                    
Like you've committed a crime 
               
I just want what's mine 


       CHORUS:

                        
And the light spilled out around us 
                   
So I wore it like stiletto 
                        
And you shoulda hid but I gotcha kid 
                    
Ain't this a princely ghetto
