Lonely Town, Lonely Street

You can live your life in a crowded city

You can walk along a crowded street

But the city really ain't no bigger

Than the friendly people, friendly people that you meet

You might be a sweet young, sweet young pretty, pretty

At the dances you can't keep your seat

But if dances don't lead to romances

You might as well be born, be born with two left feet

You might be a sweet-toned sure 'nuff high-class talker

You might be a stone, stone expert at kissing

But it don't do too much good to be talkin'

Brother, when there ain't no, ain't nobody listenin'

And if you are shy, just not much of a talker

Don't impress the people that you meet

Might as well be a lonely walker

In a lonely town, on a lonely street
