she's been afraid to go out

she's afraid of a knock on her door

there's always a shade of a doubt

she can never be sure

who comes to call

maybe the friend of a friend of a friend

anyone at all

anything but nothing again



it used to be her town

it used to be her town too

it used to be her town

it used to be her town too



seems like even her old girlfriends 

might be talking her down

she's got her name on the grapevine

running up and down the telephone line

talking bout someone said someone said

something bout something else

someone might have said about her

she always figured that they were her friends

maybe they can live without her



it used to be her town

it used to be her town too

it used to be her town

it used to be her town too



well people'd gotten used to seeing them both together

but now she's gone and life goes on 

nothing last forever

oh no



she gets the house and the garden

he gets the boys in the band

some of them his friends

some of them her friends

some of them understand



lord knows that this is just a small town city

yes and everyone can see you fall

it's got nothing to do with pity

i just wanted to give you a call



it used to be your town

it used to be my town too

but you never know til it all falls down

that somebody loves you

somebody loves you

darling somebody still loves you

i can still remember

when it used to be her town too



it used to be your town

it used to be my town too

ah but you never know til it all falls down

that somebody loves you

somebody loves you
