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

And why love street still got signs....
