Bill Withers
Lonely Town Lonely Street
[Intro]
Bm7
[Verse]
Bm7You can live your life in a crowded city,
Bm7You can walk along a crowded street.
F#7But the city really ain't no bigger than the friendly
F#7People, friendly people that you Bm7meet.
[Verse 2]
Bm7You might be a sweet young, sweet young pretty, pretty,
Bm7And at the dances you can't keep your seat.
F#7But, if dances don't lead to romances,
F#7You might as well be born, be born with two left Bm7feet.
[Verse 3]
Bm7You might be a sweet-toned sure ‘nuff high-class talker,
Bm7You might be a stone, stone expert at kissing.
F#7But it don't do too much good to be talkin',
F#7Brother, when there ain't no, ain't nobody Bm7lis'nin'.
[Verse 4]
Bm7And if you are shy, just not much of a talker,
Bm7Don't impress the people that you meet.
F#7You might as well be a lonely walker in a lonely town,
on a lonely Bm7street.
[Outro]
Bm7
