π€ Verse:
C#m
It's that time of the season
When the blood runs hot
And God must have a reason
When the temperature drops
F#
One more nameless baby
And a momma in shame
C#m
Not one of the fathers
Of the churches came
π€ Chorus:
C#m
For a motherless child in the wild, wild city
It ain't no place for a girl
So young and pretty
A motherless child in the wild, wild city
A G# C#m
Cause the city ain't no place for a lonely girl
π€ Verse 2:
C#m
It could happen to me
It could happen to you
It's the luck of the draw
It's the blow of the dice
There ain't nothin' that you can do
F#
She took too many daddies
Took too many home
C#m
Tryna find the one, someone else's son
She couldn't wander those streets alone
π€ Chorus 2:
C#m
For a motherless child in the wild, wild city
It ain't no place for a girl
So young and pretty
A motherless child in the wild, wild city
A G# C#m
Cause the city ain't no place for a lonely girl
