(Barry Mann & Cynthia Weil)
|
In this dirty old part of the city
|
Where the sun refuse to shine
|
People tell me there ain't no use in tryin'
|
|
My little girl, you're so young and pretty
|
And one thing I know is true
|
You're gonna die before your time is due
|
|
We gotta get out of this place
|
If it's the last thing we ever do
|
We gotta get out of this place
|
Girl, there's a better life for me and you
|
|
My little girl, you're so young and pretty
|
And one thing I know is true
|
You're gonna die before your time is due
|
|
See my daddy in bed a dyin'
|
See his hair a turnin' grey
|
He's been workin' and slavin' his life away
|
|
I know he's been workin', yeah, every day
|
Slavin' his life away
|
He's been workin', babe, he's been
|
Workin', work work, work
|
|
We gotta get out of this place
|
If it's the last thing we ever do
|
We gotta get out of this place
|
Girl, there's a better life for me and you
|
|
We gotta get out of this place
|
If it's the last thing we ever do
|
We gotta get out of this place
|
Girl, there's a better life for me and you
