Joan Armatrading - City Girl Lyrics






You came into town
With your big ideas
You'll find out
That life just ain't that
Way here

There's such a lot of
Big fish in the sea
But don't take my word
Just sit back and you'll see

While closing the door
Turned and said I've seen you baby
But I've got you fooled
And so has
X million more...

There's such a lot of
Pretence in this world
But don't take my word
Just sit back and you'll see

So settle down (settle down)
City girl (city girl)
Make life what it should be
Lots of laughs (lots of laughs)
All you want (all you want)
That's how it oughtta to be

But don't take my word
Just sit back and you'll see

While closing the door
Turned and said I've seen you baby
But I've got you fooled
And so has
X million more, yeah

There's such a lot of
Pretence in this world
But don't take my word
Just sit back and you'll see

So settle down (settle down)
City girl (city girl)
Make life what it should be
Lots of laughs (lots of laughs)
All you want (all you want)
That's how it oughtta to be

But don't take my word
Just sit back and you'll see
Don't take my word
Just sit back and you'll see

    I’ve had such a love affair with Joan and her music. I found this album in a bunch of records that was destinted for Goodwill or worse. I took it home and it’s blown my mind ever since. This lady could not only write the music, she could deliver like no other that I’ve ever heard. I was blessed with an enormous record collection (20,000+ album at the time of the sale), and Joan was at the head of the list when it came to singers and songwriters. Her songs “Heaven” and “Willow” are both still in my Top 20 All-timers. Do yourself a favor, if you liked this song, spend an afternoon listening to everything you can find by Joan, and you will see what I mean. “Show Some Emotion”, Love And Affection”, “Me, Myself I” are just more great tracks that come to mind. Good listening pilgrim. Later, MK 2019.
