Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Don't call it a fight when you know it's a war

With nothing but your t-shirt on

And go sit on the bed, because I know that you want to

You've got pretty eyes, but I know you're wrong

[Verse 2]

And don't call it a spade if it it isn't a spade

And go lie on the floor if you want

The first bit of advice that you gave me that I liked was they're too strong, too strong

Get in the shower if it all goes wrong

[Verse 3]

Yeah, you wanna find love then you know where the city is

Yeah, you wanna find love then you know where the city is

Yeah, you wanna find love then you know where the city is, city is

Yeah, you wanna find love then you know where the city is

[Verse 4]

Yeah, counting cards was the best job he ever had

Cleaning up

He got good with his 4's and his 2's

Community service was the best job he ever had

Cleaning up

He got sick on the floor and his shoes

[Verse 5]

Oh, and she said, "It's your birthday, are you feeling alright?"

The next one's the M.D.

You'll be feeling just fine

Your brother, has just sat there

You said that you felt snide

You hope that that the boy will be alright

[Verse 6]

Yeah, you wanna find love then you know where the city is

Yeah, you wanna find love then you know where the city is

Yeah, you wanna find love then you know where the city is, city is

Yeah, you wanna find love then you know where the city is

[Verse 7]

Yeah, well she said, "It's your birthday, are you feeling alright?"

The next one's the M.D.

You'll be feeling just fine

Your brother, has just sat there

You said that you felt snide

You hope that that the boy will be alright

[Verse 8]

Yeah, you wanna find love then you know where the city is

Yeah, you wanna find love then you know where the city is

Yeah, you wanna find love then you know where the city is, city is

Yeah, you wanna find love then you know where the city is
