She was standing on the corner, looking like a foreigner
                                                       Dm7
So I tried to warn her, said watch out for the businessman

But she shook her head, and my face got red

She turned and said that I better find another friend

And it's a crazy town
F             G
 If you look around
G                      Dm7
But she, she loves the sound

Of this crazy town

 She loves the sound

Well I was at the wheel of an automobile
                                                        Dm
When I thought that I could steal her away for a Sunday drive
        C
But she told me no, said she didn't want to go
   F                                       G
My heart said no, and I felt like a fool inside


Pre-Chorus:
   Am           G
So how can I persuade

I was born too soft to be

In love this way
