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...
