Wild City Lyrics - 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
