CITY LADY (Robert J. Purvis and William Elliott)
Bobby:
The air I breathe, the road I ride now
Bobby & Bill:
The mood you're in won't turn me on
Bill:
I'm trying hard to reach your side now
Bobby & Bill:
I turn around and I find you're gone
(Yeah!)
CHORUS:
Isn't it a pity that the lady in the city can't love me
I can feel you crying but the feeling's slowly dying away, yeah
Making like I move, you wanna believe you're trying to tear me apart
Bobby:
The night, it comes and fills the sky, girl
Bobby & Bill:
Get this feeling deep inside
Bobby:
Was it really worth my while?
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Bobby & Bill:
Should I stay or run and hide?
[repeat CHORUS]
Yeah, hey hey hey hey, tear me apart
Bobby:
Colder than the break of day, girl
But even in your state of mind
Did you really want it this way, girl?
Oh, you're so unkind
[repeat CHORUS]
Oh oh oh
You know you're trying to tear me apart, now
And I like it, yeah yeah yeah
Making like you move me
I believe you're trying to tear me apart...
