[00:49.32]It's that time of the season, when the blood runs hot
[00:56.59]And God must have a reason when the temperature drops
[01:03.98]One more nameless baby and a momma in shame
[01:11.11]Not one of the fathers of the churches came
[01:17.55]For a motherless child in the wild, wild city
[01:25.92]It ain't no place for a girl so young and pretty
[01:32.37]A motherless child in the wild, wild city
[01:39.29]Cause the city ain't no place for a lonely girl
[01:53.27]
[01:57.94]It could happen to me, it could happen to you
[02:04.96]It's the luck of the draw, it's the blow of the dice
[02:09.35]There ain't nothin' that you can do
[02:13.51]She took too many daddies, took too many home
[02:20.94]Tryna find the one, someone else's son
[02:24.14]She couldn't weather those streets alone
[02:27.27]For a motherless child in the wild, wild city
[02:34.29]It ain't no place for a girl, so young and pretty
[02:41.94]A motherless child in the wild, wild city
[02:49.87]Cause the city ain't no place for a lonely girl
[02:57.68]
[03:26.18]For a motherless child in the wild, wild city
[03:33.28]It ain't no place for a girl, so young and pretty
[03:40.53]A motherless child in the wild, wild city
[03:48.52]Cause the city ain't no place, no no
[03:52.57]The city ain't no place, no no
[03:56.13]The city ain't no place for a lonely girl
[04:01.68]
