Lonely Town, Lonely Street (Album Version)

Lonely Town, Lonely Street - Bill Withers
You can live your life in a crowded city,
You can walk along a crowded street.
But the city really
ain't no bigger
than the friendly people
friendly people that you meet.
You might be a sweet young
sweet young pretty, pretty,
And at the dances
you can't keep your seat.
But, if dances don't lead to romances,
You well might be as born
be born with two left feet.
You might be a sweet toned
sure 'nuff high-class talker,
You might be a stone
stone expert at kissing.
But it don't do
too much good to be talkin'
Brother, when there ain't no
ain't nobody lis'nin'.
And if you are shy,
just not much of a talker
Don't impress the people that you meet.
You might as well be
a lonely walker
in a lonely town
on a lonely street.
