You can live your life in a crowded city,
|
You can walk along a crowded street.
|
But the city really ain't no bigger than the friendly
|
People, friendly people that you meet.
|
You might be a sweet young, sweet young pretty, pretty,
|
And at the dances you can't keep your seat.
|
But, if dances don't lead to romances,
|
You might as well be born, be born with two left feet.
|
|
You might be a sweet-toned sure a¢æ?nuff high-class talker,
|
You might be a stone, stone expert at kissing.
|
But it don't do too much good to be talkin',
|
Brother, when there ain't no, ain't nobody lis'nin'.
|
And if you are shy, just not much of a talker,
|
Don't impress the people that you meet.
|
You might as well be a lonely walker in a lonely town, on a lonely street.
|
