Talk Of The Town Lyrics - The Singles - Pretenders

Such a drag to want something sometime 

One thing leads to another I know 

Was a time wanted you for mine 

Nobody knew 

You arrived like a day 

And passed like a cloud 

I made a wish, I said it out loud 

Out loud in a crowd 

Everybody heard 

It was the talk of the town 

It's not my place to know what you feel 

I'd like to know but why should I? 

Who were you then, who are you now? 

Common laborer by night, by day highbrow 

Back in my room I wonder, then I 

Sit on the bed, look at the sky 

Up in the sky 

Clouds rearrange 

Like the talk of the town 

Maybe tomorrow, maybe someday 

Maybe tomorrow, maybe someday 

You've changed your place in this world 

You've changed your place in this world 

Oh but it's hard to live by the rules 

I never could and still never do 

The rules and such never bothered you 

You call the shots and they follow 

I watch you still from a distance then go 

Back to my room, you never know 

I want you, I want you but now 

Who's the talk of the town?
