Can't Take This Town - Colin Hay

There’s a woman in the mirror, fixing her lips

There’s a man in the bathroom, looking for tips

I park the car, and no-one to pay

And one pizza later, it’s towed away

I can’t take this town, I just don’t believe it

I can’t take this town, I better love it or leave it

I can’t take this town, I just don’t believe it

I can’t take this town, I better love it or leave it

Sitting eating dinner, just the other day

Not my friends, I didn’t know what to say

A woman leaned over, said you gotta have hits

And all I could do was stare at her

I can’t take this town, I just don’t believe it

I can’t take this town, I better love it or leave it

I can’t take this town, I just don’t believe it

I can’t take this town, I better love it or leave it

Caught in a crossfire, a child goes down

No-one saw a thing, or heard a sound

Life is cheap, or so it would appear

Try telling his mama, she can’t stop the tears

I can’t take this town, I just don’t believe it

I can’t take this town, I better love it or leave it

I can’t take this town, I just don’t believe it

I can’t take this town, I better love it or leave it
