Our Town

If he'd only said he loved me

Then I wouldn't feel so bad

I'd have the right to miss him

But that right I never had

'Cause he told me he'd leave me

When he grew tired of our town

A stranger in the city

And charming in a way

And I was feeling lonely

That's why I let him stay

So I showed him the sights

Took him around in our town

We didn't say, "Tomorrow"

We only said, "Tonight"

"Tomorrow" has a way of sounding trite

He didn't give me promises

And though it sounds absurd

I poured out my love

And he drank without a word

I don't recall the reason

But soon he said, "So long"

I knew it had to happen

So really nothing's wrong

It's a gentleman's game

And they play it all the same in our town

In our lonely old town
