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....
