Never been to London, never been to France
|
never was sorry never learned to dance
|
Never walked down to 42nd Street and Frairs
|
never smoked any filtered air
|
|
Guess it's true what all the people say
|
gonna have to mend my old time ways, yeah
|
I guess it's true, guess, I've lived a sheltered life
|
|
Never walked about on the streets at night
|
never got into an uptown fight
|
Never smoked a hookah, never saw a rug
|
couldn't even squash a beetle bug
|
|
Guess it's true I'm gonna have to change my ways
|
guess it's true what all the people say, yeah
|
I know it's true, guess, I've lived a sheltered life
|
|
Never went to parties in a chauffeured car
|
never wore a top hat 'cause I won't get far
|
Never learned to handle all the things that I've seen
|
maybe I'll grow up to be big and mean
|
|
Guess it's true what all the people say
|
gonna have to change my old fashioned ways, well
|
I guess it's true, guess, I've lived a sheltered life
|
