ALBUM WORDS CRY℗©
VERSE ONE
Bazooka gum for just one cent
Before I was born, my time was spent
Seems like it don't ever change
Lookin' for the man who shares my name
Walking home from school alone
Nine year old baby on her own
Don't even know about traffic signs
Or strangers that got her on their mind
Clutching her books to her chest
Heart pounding ain't no rest
Elevator door closed you ain’t mine
Shut him out safe this time
PREHOOK
It's a cold dark day in the city yeah
When you a latchkey baby it ain't safe nowhere
Long walk back to where I came from
For a latchkey baby it’s a longer one
HOOK
Latchkey baby are you home tonight?
Latchkey baby it will be alright
Latchkey baby won't you give me a try
Latchkey baby please don’t cry
Latchkey baby are you home tonight?
Latchkey baby it will be alright
Latchkey baby your mom ain’t in sight
Latchkey baby you’re mine tonight
VERSE TWO
Oh sweet Lord please tell me how
Gonna’ make it outta’ this now
In so deep can't figure it right
Huggin’ the cross Lord showed me that night
On my knees I began to pray
In these streets so cold and grey
There ain't no home to go back to
Latchkey baby the streets your school
Hey Dad where are you now
Big and strong to protect me how
Big man out on the streets leavin’ your baby
To be handled like tasty treats now
PREHOOK
It's a cold dark day in the city yeah
When you a latchkey baby it ain't safe nowhere
Long walk back to where I came from
For a latchkey baby it’s a longer one
HOOK
Latchkey baby are you home tonight?
Latchkey baby it will be alright
Latchkey baby won't you give me a try
Latchkey baby please don’t cry
Latchkey baby are you home tonight?
Latchkey baby it will be alright
Latchkey baby your mom ain’t in sight
Latchkey baby you’re mine tonight
BRIDGE
Call the babysitter
Just a chance for you to meet her
Should have sent him packin’
But when you leave kids alone the devil makes it happen
Fire escape in plain sight
Only the Lord could end this fight
He almost took my life that night
But what he took still ain’t right
HOOK
Latchkey baby are you home tonight?
Latchkey baby it will be alright
Latchkey baby won't you give me a try
Latchkey baby please don’t cry
Latchkey baby are you home tonight?
Latchkey baby it will be alright
Latchkey baby your mom ain’t in sight
Latchkey baby you’re mine tonight
Mine tonight, mine tonight, mine tonight...
