Wild City

It's that time of the season When the blood runs hot And God must have a reason When the temperature drops One more nameless baby And a momma in shame Not one of the fathers Of the churches came For a motherless child in the wild, wild city It ain't no place for a girl So young and pretty A motherless child in the wild, wild city Cause the city ain't no place for a lonely girl It could happen to me It could happen to you It's the luck of the draw It's the blow of the dice There ain't nothin' that you can do She took too many daddies Took too many home Tryna find the one, someone else's son She couldn't weather those streets alone For a motherless child in the wild, wild city It ain't no place for a girl So young and pretty A motherless child in the wild, wild city Cause the city ain't no place for a lonely girl For a motherless child in the wild, wild city It ain't no place for a girl So young and pretty A motherless child in the wild, wild city Cause the city ain't no place, no no The city ain't no place The city ain't no place for a lonely girl
