Lyrics

[Verse 1]

She's a ghetto woman waitin' for her man to come home

Oh, poor ghetto woman, waitin' for her man to come home

She's a ghetto woman waitin' for her man to come home, to come home

[Verse 2]

A rat run 'cross the floor, a roach ran up the wall

Everything is noisy around her, it don't seem to bother her at all

'Cause she's a ghetto woman sittin' there all alone

She's just a ghetto woman waitin' for her man to come home

[Verse 3]

Yes, the TV on, radio blastin' the news

Somebody down the hall playin' the lowdown dirty blues

My ghetto woman, she's all alone

She's just a ghetto woman waitin' for her man to come home, come home

[Verse 4]

'Cause she's a ghetto woman, yeah, she's a ghetto woman

Whoa, ghetto woman, what's on your mind?

Sometimes I look in your face, can't help but cry

[Verse 5]

Mmm
