she's been afraid to go out
she's afraid of a knock on her door
there's always a shade of a doubt
she can never be sure
who comes to call
maybe the friend of a friend of a friend
anyone at all
anything but nothing again

it used to be her town
it used to be her town too
it used to be her town
it used to be her town too

seems like even her old girlfriends
might be talking her down
she's got her name on the grapevine
running up and down the telephone line
talking bout someone said someone said
something bout something else
someone might have said about her
she always figured that they were her friends
maybe they can live without her

it used to be her town
it used to be her town too
it used to be her town
it used to be her town too

well people'd gotten used to seeing them both together
but now she's gone and life goes on
nothing last forever
oh no

she gets the house and the garden
he gets the boys in the band
some of them his friends
some of them her friends
some of them understand

lord knows that this is just a small town city
yes and everyone can see you fall
it's got nothing to do with pity
i just wanted to give you a call

it used to be your town
it used to be my town too
but you never know til it all falls down
that somebody loves you
somebody loves you
darling somebody still loves you
i can still remember
when it used to be her town too

it used to be your town
it used to be my town too
ah but you never know til it all falls down
that somebody loves you
