[Verse 1]
             
City girls jus

            
t seem to find

     
 out early, 
            
how to open do

              
ors with just 

  
a smile.
             
A rich old man

            
 and she won't

         
 have to worry

, 
            
she'll dress u

Late at night 

            
a big old hous

       
e gets lonely,
            
I guess every 

              
form of refuge

         
 has its price

.
             
And it breaks 

             
her heart to t

             
hink her love 

   
is only
            
Given to a man

             
 with hands as

               
 cold as ice.

[Verse 3]
             
So she tells h

            
im she must go

             
 out for the e

vening
            
To comfort an 

              
old friend who

           
's feeling dow

n.
             
But he knows w

            
here she's goi

A-nother night
