[Intro: Background Singers & Girl Lost to the City] She's gotta go, she's gotta go, she's gotta go (Jermaine) She's gotta leave, she's gotta leave, she's gotta leave (Jermaine) To the big city (I want to go places) To the big city (I want to be somebody) [Verse 1] She was a small town girl In the big city, yeah, yeah, yeah You know I lost that girl In the big city, oh yeah All those bright lights Got in her eyes She turned her pretty head Before I realized We were holding hands When one of those hip cats Tried to talk my baby Into a Cadillac [Chorus] That's how I lost my love In the big city, aww yeah You know I lost my love In the big city, aww, yeah, yeah [Verse 2] Oh, that groovy tune Comin' from that party room We were only looking in But, pretty soon Somehow we strayed apart And that place got dark And I found somebody messin' around With that young girl's heart [Chorus] That's how I lost my love In the big city, aww, yeah You know I lost my love In the big city, aww, yeah, yeah [Bridge] She was oh so sweet She knocked me off my feet Just the kind of girl Your mom would like to meet Oh that girl was pure You know a line to her Was something just for catching fish And that's for sure [Verse 3] So when this fancy dude With a sexy point of view Said "Cutie ..." "... Hollywood would make a star of you" Oh yeah, this kind of jive Made her lose her cool To compete, I need some lessons From a lovin' school [Chorus] That's how I lost my love In the big city, aw yeah You know I lost my love In the big city, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah I lost, I lost, I lost, I lost my love In the big city Oh, I lost, I lost, I lost my love In the big city Aww yeah, yeah You know, I lost, I lost, I lost my love In the big city Aww yeah Oh, I lost, I lost, I lost my love In the big city
