There's a woman in the mirror, fixing her lips There's a man in the bathroom, looking for tips I park the car, and no-one to pay And one pizza later, it's towed away I can't take this town, I just don't believe it I can't take this town, I better love it or leave it I can't take this town, I just don't believe it I can't take this town, I better love it or leave it Sitting eating dinner, just the other day Not my friends, I didn't know what to say A woman leaned over, said you gotta have hits And all I could do was stare at her I can't take this town, I just don't believe it I can't take this town, I better love it or leave it I can't take this town, I just don't believe it I can't take this town, I better love it or leave it Caught in a crossfire, a child goes down No-one saw a thing, or heard a sound Life is cheap, or so it would appear Try telling his mama, she can't stop the tears I can't take this town, I just don't believe it I can't take this town, I better love it or leave it I can't take this town, I just don't believe it I can't take this town, I better love it or leave it
