This city called my name when I was 18 years old
Chasing fortune and fame, but I was never told
That a working man, he ain’t got the time
To fix the things he broke, like this heart of mine
You see, I was raised, to be real brave
Not to be afraid, not to run away
But the trouble here, ain’t just in my mind
Ain’t no peace here I can find
And everybody knows I all alone
Young and stupid, and far from home
I love a man who don’t love me
Why don’t he love me?
One hundred dollar bills, to board the bus
Now I won’t cry and I won’t fuss over you, no no
Close the door driver-man, and ring your bell
And drive me out of this living hell
You see he touched me here, and he kissed me there
And he bit my tongue, and he pulled my hair
And he laid me down and he stole my life
Like a greedy thief with a dirty knife
And everybody knows I all alone
Young and stupid, and far from home
I love a man who don’t love me
Why don’t he love me?
