Wild City - The Pretty Reckless

It’s that time of the season

When the blood runs hot

And God must have a reason

When the temperature drops

One more nameless baby

And a momma in shame

Not one of the fathers

Of the churches came

For a motherless child in the wild, wild city

It ain’t no place for a girl

So young and pretty

A motherless child in the wild, wild city

Cause the city ain’t no place for a lonely girl

It could happen to me

It could happen to you

It’s the luck of the draw

It’s the blow of the dice

There ain’t nothin' that you can do

She took too many daddies

Took too many home

Tryna find the one, someone else’s son

She couldn’t weather those streets alone

For a motherless child in the wild, wild city

It ain’t no place for a girl

So young and pretty

A motherless child in the wild, wild city

Cause the city ain’t no place for a lonely girl

For a motherless child in the wild, wild city

It ain’t no place for a girl

So young and pretty

A motherless child in the wild, wild city

Cause the city ain’t no place, no no

The city ain’t no place

The city ain’t no place for a lonely girl
