City Girl

(album: Red Cab To Manhattan - 1980)

City girl, city girl
What does it take?
City girl, city girl
Before you break?

City girl, city girl
It's you I love
City girl, city girl
I'm dreaming of tonight

She'll come around
I know that she will
It's just a matter of time
She'll fall in love with me

You got your head-strong girls
With their life-long career
Staring you in the face
Get used to taking second place

Cause it's the only thing to do
Love is so dangerous
She'll take all your innocence
Then she'll turn you away

There's no one like the one you love
No one like the one you love
There's no one like the one you love
(That's what they tell me)

Romance, romance
She says where is the romance?
It's here in my heart
It takes two for a brand new start

All those guys with their tongues hanging out
And me with my best foot forward
And me with my flat feet
And me with my flat feet
I used to be so strong
I used to be so strong
My independence is leaking down the drain
There it goes...
