Town Without Pity
(Gene
Pitney, 1961)
When you're young
and so in love as we
And bewildered by
the world we see
Why do people
hurt us so
Only those in
love would know
What a town
without pity can do
If we stop to
gaze upon a star
People talk about
how bad we are
Ours is not an
easy age
We're like tigers
in a cage
What a town
without pity can do
The young have
problems, many problems
We need an
understanding heart
Why don't they
help us, try and help us
Before this clay
and granite planet falls apart
Take these eager
lips and hold me fast
I'm afraid this
kind of joy can't last
How can we keep
love alive
How can anything
survive
When these little
minds tear you in two
What a town
without pity can do
How can we keep
love alive
How can anything
survive
When these little
minds tear you in two
What a town
without pity can do
No, it isn't very
pretty what a town without pity
Ca-a-an do
