Maria Novarro - Lyrics - Was (not Was)

Maria called the police department On a Sunday afternoon "My husband's gonna kill me Please send somebody soon" "Where is he, ma'am, is he at your door? Has he got you now? Can you tell me more?" In the city of angels there's no mercy And there's no tomorrow for Maria Novarro No tomorrow for Maria Novarro "Please," she said, "his brother called He's on his way with a gun" "Sorry ma'am, not good enough Why'd you dial 911?" She knew he was mean, he'd hit her before She hung up the phone and she locked the door In the city of angels there's no mercy And there's no tomorrow for Maria Novarro No tomorrow for Maria Novarro James Brown said it was a man's world And women don't matter A little slap, they'll claim they're battered They're hysterical, emotional And love will make them fall Tomorrow she'll forget that it happened at all Domestic quarrels are routine There's no need to waste a cop Especially in that neighborhood Those people never stop But her husband showed up just like she said No one would listen, now Maria lays dead In the city of angels there's no mercy And there's no tomorrow for Maria Novarro No tomorrow for Maria Novarro
