Wild City
It's that time of the seasonWhen the blood runs hotAnd God must have a reasonWhen the temperature dropsOne more nameless babyAnd a momma in shameNot one of the fathersOf the churches came
For a motherless child in the wild, wild cityIt ain't no place for a girlSo young and prettyA motherless child in the wild, wild cityCause the city ain't no place for a lonely girl
It could happen to meIt could happen to youIt's the luck of the drawIt's the blow of the diceThere ain't nothin' that you can doShe took too many daddiesTook too many homeTryna find the one, someone else's sonShe couldn't weather those streets alone
For a motherless child in the wild, wild cityIt ain't no place for a girlSo young and prettyA motherless child in the wild, wild cityCause the city ain't no place for a lonely girl
For a motherless child in the wild, wild cityIt ain't no place for a girlSo young and prettyA motherless child in the wild, wild cityCause the city ain't no place, no noThe city ain't no placeThe city ain't no place for a lonely girl
