The Way You Live

(album: Sign Of The Times - 1976)

Get a hold of yourself girl
You're living a lie
If you don't you're liable to
Break down and cry
Can't you see it's not for you
You ain't happy at all
So get on home to your Mum and Dad
I really think you should, for
Being here will do you no good

The way you live, the way you live
The big city you never give
A thing to you, a thing to you
No no that would never do
The way you live, the way you live
You gotta change the way you leave

Stayed away all day
With nothing to do
The agency man has
Noting for you
You haven't a friend
No-one to call
By and by you'll wonder why
You are all alone but
You should go, you're better off at home

The way you live, the way you live
The big city you never give
A thing to you, a thing to you
No no that would never do
The way you live, the way you live
You gotta change the way you leave
