I Lost My Love In The Big City

She’s gotta go, she’s gotta go, she’s gotta go
(Jermaine)
She’s gotta leave, she’s gotta leave, she’s gotta leave
(Jermaine)
To the big city (I want to go places)
To the big city (I want to be somebody)
She was a small town girl
In the big city (yeah, yeah, yeah)
You know I lost that girl
In the big city (aww yeah)
All those bright lights
Got in here eyes
She turned her pretty head
Before I realized
We were holding hands
When one of those hip cats
Tried to talk my baby
Into a Cadillac
That’s how I lost my love
In the big city (aww yeah)
You know I lost my love
In the big city (aww, yeah, yeah)
Oh that groovy toon
Comin' from that party room
We were only looking in
But, pretty soon
Somehow we strayed apart
And that place got dark
And I found somebody messin' around
With that girls heart
That’s how I lost my love
In the big city (aww yeah)
You know I lost my love
In the big city (aww, yeah, yeah)
She was oh so sweet
She knocked me off my feet
Just the kind of girl
Your mom would like to meet
Oh that girl was pure
You know a line to her
Was something just for catching fish
And that’s for sure
So when this fancy dude
With a sexy point of view
Said «Cutie…»
«…Hollywood would make a star of you»
Oh yeah this kind of jive
Made her lose her cool
To compete I need some lessons
From another school
That’s how I lost my love
In the big city (aww yeah)
You know I lost my love
In the big city (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
I lost, I lost, I lost, I lost my love
In the big city
Oh, I lost, I lost, I lost my love
In the big city
Aww yeah
You know, I lost, I lost, I lost my love
In the big city
Aww yeah
Oh I lost, I lost, I lost my love
In the big city
