Walking down the street smoggy eyed
Looking at the sky starry eyed
Searching for a place weary eyed
Crying in the night teary eyed

Don't you know that it's true
That for me and for you the world is a ghetto
Don't you know that it's true
That for me and for you the world is a ghetto - oh

Wonder where I'll find paradise
Somewhere there's a home sweet and nice
Wonder if I'll find happiness
Better give it up, now I guess

Don't you know that it's true
That for me and for you the world is a ghetto
Don't you know that it's true
That for me and for you the world is a ghetto
Yeah, baby, hey, baby, hey-hey-hey, baby - yeah

There's no need to search anywhere
Happiness is here, have your share
If you know you're loved, be secure
Paradise is love to be sure

Don't you know that it's true
That for me and for you the world is a ghetto
Don't you know that it's true
That for me and for you the world is a ghetto ....
The world is a ghetto, the world is a ghetto
The world is a ghetto, the world is a ghetto .....
