Mama used to tell me tales ´Bout a part of town Where people cry the blues
Most everyday She said don´t go down there boy. You know, love will cut you down And you ain´t yet a man, hear what I say She said listen to me, son, it´s so Let me tell ya, I´ve been down there And I know
That on love street they´ve got signs That say watch for falling victims Dreams get run down in the night Lord and yours might be the next one Down where lies´ll cut you deep And goodbyes are loaded guns You can take one through the heart Another Casualty Of Love
But still I had to find out
Just how a love would feel I got tangled in the arms Of one gone bad Now I sit and wait and wonder As I cry myself to sleep Why I couldn´t heed what my mama said New her every word rings clear and true Now I´ve come to realize what love can do
