The Pretenders | Lyrics | Talk of the Town

It's 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
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?
Ooowaooo
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 rearranged
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, oh
I want you, I want you but now
Who's the talk of the town?

Maybe tomorrow
(Maybe tomorrow)
Maybe someday
(Maybe someday)
Maybe tomorrow
Maybe someday
(Maybe someday)

You've changed
Your place in this world
You've changed
Your place in this world
