Tricky - Valentine lyrics

My funny Valentine Knew a girl used to make me wait for hours On the train in the rain with some flowers Street girl used to live in the towers Real sweet and then sour Hard life just like Cinderella Single mum had a kid with a fella She was real, real like concrete By herself walk like she own street The other fella he was kinda like trash The son's father but never did give her cash I said there's things you really shouldn't have to do Come with me and I'll look after you My funny Valentine My funny Valentine My funny Valentine My funny Valentine My Valentine, take me away Council flats make me blind I try but these towers so grey Nowhere for my children to play My baby needs fun My skin needs the sun My Valentine My funny Valentine My funny Valentine My funny Valentine My funny Valentine Knew a girl, street girl Used to live in the towers Real sweet and then sour Hard life just like Cinderella Single mum had a kid with a fella My funny Valentine My funny Valentine My funny Valentine My funny Valentine
