Lyrics

She's been afraid to go out She's afraid of the knock on her door There's always a shade of a doubt She can never be sure Who comes to call Maybe the friend of a friend of a friend Anyone at all Anything but nothing again It used to be her town It used to be her town, too It used to be her town It used to be her town, too Seems like even her old girlfriends Might be talking her down She's got her name on the grapevine Running up and down The telephone line Talking 'bout Someone said, someone said Something 'bout, something else Someone might have said about her She always figured that they were her friends But maybe they can live without her It used to be her town It used to be her town, too It used to be her town It used to be her town, too Well, people got used to seeing them both together But now he's gone and life goes on Nothing lasts forever, oh no She gets the house and the garden He gets the boys in the band Some of them his friends Some of them her friends Some of them understand Lord knows that this is just a small town city Yes, and everyone can see you fall It's got nothing to do with pity I just wanted to give you a call It used to be your town It used to be my town, too You never know 'till it all falls down Somebody loves you Somebody loves you Darling, somebody still loves you I can still remember When it used to be her town, too It used to be your town It used to be my town, too
