Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Girl, you said you want me
You said you want me to be your man
Yes, you did
And you said, you want me
You say you want me
You want me to marry you
Now, I don't mind doing that, baby
But there is something, there is something
I think I'd better tell you right now
[Verse 2]
I'm just a ghetto man
That's all I am
Singin' in this ghetto town, yes I am
I'm just a ghetto man
That's all I am
Livin' in this ghetto town
[Verse 3]
Baby, please remember this
[Verse 4]
Diamond rings I can't give you
No, I can't
Because I only made a few ghetto plans
And they don't include diamond rings, honey
A whole lot of money I can't give you
No, I can't
Because I only made a few ghetto plans
Yes, I did
That's the reason why, oh, I'm lookin'
I got to keep lookin' for me a ghetto woman
I know she'll understand
A new car, I can't give you
I can't afford it, baby
Because I only made a few ghetto plans
And they don't include a new car, honey
A whole lotta things, that a girl should have
I can't give
Because I made ghetto plans
Yes, I did
But if it's love you're looking for
I want you to come on, come on and let me love you
Baby, please remember this
[Verse 5]
I'm just a ghetto man
I don't have much
Because I made ghetto plans
But I'm willin' to share with you, honey
If it's love you're looking for
I want you to come on
Let me take you to my paradise
Let me be your man, baby, but remember
I'm just a ghetto man
That's all I am
Singin' in this ghetto town
I just wanna remind you one more time, baby
I'm just a ghetto man
Baby, I can't give you a lot of things
Because I made ghetto plans
Don't you ever forget that, baby
Whoa, I'm a ghetto man
I don't have much
But I'm willin' to share with you
[Verse 6]
You see, baby, most mans can give you a whole lot of things
But I'm just plain old Marvin, baby
You see, I don't live in Hollywood
Or London, or Paris, or Rome
You see, baby, I live right here, in the ghetto
I can't afford to eat the best of food
Sometimes I eat beans out of a can
So if you don't mind that
[Verse 7]
Come on, but remember, I'm just a ghetto man
That's all I am
Livin' in this ghetto town
Don't you ever forget that, baby, girl, oh
I'm a ghetto man
I work hard for what I got girl, hm, hm
Can I say it one more time, baby? Girl, oh, girl
I'm just a ghetto man
That's all I am
