Oh those small city boys

They come they go
but each one we come to know
they all end the same
and with girls all lies are just part of their game
I should have known but stray far from them
but the look in each one's eye just kept me coming back for more
each time i was completely blinded
completely unaware
oh, those small city boys..
they come they go
but each one we come to know

I should have known but stray far from them
but the look in each one's eye just kept me coming back for more
each time i was completely blinded
completely unaware
oh those small city boys
what was i supposed to do
as a big city girl
with large hopes and large dreams
i was on top of this small city's gleam
a talent a shine in each eye
i knew i'd better reconsider
my choices my social being
my romantic ways of life
oh those small city boys
how they get in the way
they taint and they cause
troubles here
troubles near and far
i must hold a cross in my arms
and get on my knees and pray
lord forgive me for I have sinned
i have not focused on my own life
i need to reconsider
my choices my social being
my romantic ways of life
oh those small city boys
how they get in the way
they taint and they cause
trouble here
troubles near and far
i must hold this cross in my arms
as i hold myself in concern
another shadow in the threshold light
it was a small city boy
could i resist my urge
could he change his way
he came to sit
he came to pray
maybe, just maybe lord today was my lucky day
oh those small city boys....
