my block

i'd be so ashamed to meet you

if you came to my block

so when we had a date

i'd meet you

somewhere in the heart of town

and when you took me home

we'd go nowhere near my block

cause i led you to believe

that i lived in a better part of town

would you still love me if you

should ever see me on my block

the feeling that you feel would be

lost among the steel and stone

you never see a flower grow

oh

no

not on my

my

my

my block

and when the sun goes down

a stranger shouldn't walk alone

after work one night beneath the

lamppost light on my block

you suddenly appeared and i feared

the little game i played was through

but when you took my hand

it was so grand walking down

my

my

my

my block

then right before my very eyes

my block became a paradise with you

walk up to my house and step inside

it's my block

no more

don't have nothing more to hide

it's my

my

my

my block.
