City Girl

City Girl

James Dinsmore

Hey you,

Single girl in the city;

Painted like a clown

You look so pretty.

Styled hair and big red lips,

But why 'ya still

Picking up your own tips?

Hey you!

Dressed to kill,

With an emotionless face

And eyes that can't feel;

Why 'ya act so uptight,

Do you think I'm fool enough

to rob you in broad daylight?

Hey you!

Hitting a bar,

Sitting alone in your red sports car;

Smile at the guy---go ahead,

But he don't want you

If you ain’t in bed.

Is it you

With your vallium,

Getting away from your old

'Ho-hum'.

Your hands are cold,

Your eyes are glass,

You can't get involved,

You gotta move fast.

Hey girl,

How 'ya so strong?

How do you manage to carry on?

You can't take sympathy

You're too cool,

In this melting world

Who’s the fool?

Hey you,

City girl,

Are you dizzy yet

From this old world?

Haven't you learned that you can't win

Against the double standards and insanity were in?

Play it cool,

stay on top;

Until you don't even know

If its you or not.
