It's Your City Lyrics

Went to camp this year there was this girl oh I could stop there

She was beautiful oh I should stop there

And when our days sailing the bays of Massachusetts were through I swore that I'd stay true

And when my baby asks why I haven't called I know I still do



So where you been girls



One day in class two big kids asked if I had a lady

In reply I told them tales of the sea you and me yeah racing for the cup

And when the last one tells me I always made her cry

Gets me to thinking to way back then when I made you up



Girls it ain't right



Jessie you're to blame for all this all of this

For all my true loves keep joining you in Boston baby

What you're doing ain't fair

We never have a chance

Soon as there's romance in the air

You spirit them away

Leaving me with a shell

And she with a receding tide

Dreaming all day of shores far far away

And leaving this one out to dry



Jessie you're to blame for all this all of this

For all my real loves keep running north to Boston

Must be filling up the streets there

How can it be you never seem to come across one another

In some square or on the T or I don't know it's your city

And somehow you've managed to build it filled with so much more fun than being here with me

Well Jessie the damage is done



Don't follow me girls
