City Girl

Joan Armatrading

You came into town 
With your big ideas 
You'll find out 
That life just ain't that 
Way here

There's such a lot of 
Big fish in the sea 
But don't take my word 
Just sit back and you'll see

While closing the door 
Turned and said I've seen you baby 
But I've got you fooled 
And so has 
X million more...

There's such a lot of 
Pretence in this world 
But don't take my word 
Just sit back and you'll see

So settle down [settle down] 
City girl [city girl] 
Make life what it should be 
Lots of laughs [lots of laughs] 
All you want [all you want] 
That's how it oughtta to be

But don't take my word 
Just sit back and you'll see

While closing the door 
Turned and said I've seen you baby 
But I've got you fooled 
And so has 
X million more, yeah

There's such a lot of 
Pretence in this world 
But don't take my word 
Just sit back and you'll see

So settle down [settle down] 
City girl [city girl] 
Make life what it should be 
Lots of laughs [lots of laughs] 
All you want [all you want] 
That's how it oughtta to be

But don't take my word 
Just sit back and you'll see 
Don't take my word 
Just sit back and you'll see
