Juanita Stein - Get Back to the City Lyrics

GET BACK TO THE CITY

Sometimes the cool girls end up with the assholes
Just the way it works
I got too many friends who just need a love so bad it hurts

Take Leigh, she met a guy made her feel pretty
She left New York City
They don't see eye to eye
He gets around, it gets her down, he can't understand why

When she closes her eyes, well you know she'll be dreaming of a place where she can be

You gotta get back to the city
You know, you gotta get it back to the song
You gotta get back to a place where you belong

You gotta listen to the chimes in your heart
You gotta ring them come heaven or hell
You gotta get back to a place you know well

Now she's travelling overtime, working the deadlines, paying their dues
And she hides affliction well, but you can see right through
And, the kids are getting older, the kids are getting wiser to your charade
And mama, don't you think this'll only make them walk away

So before it's too late you can set the wheels in motion and steer this with two hands

You gotta get back to the city
You know, you gotta get it back to the song
You gotta get back to a place where you belong

You gotta listen to the chimes in your heart
You gotta ring them come heaven or hell
You gotta get back to a place you know well
