I've been doing my best to love you well.
I've done my best to play the part
the careless drifter in my heart.
But it's killing me not to go down to the city
When I - I've got to satisfy you
Well
I'm living a lie and I know it's a pity but I
I want out
I've gotta get away from you
I want out
I've gotta get away from you.
Well
I feel young and fancy free and the city life's a-calling me.
I'm tired of living in this shell
when I break out I'm gonna do it well.
But it's killig me not to go down to the city. . . .
Well
I'm no cold hearted Jezebel
. . .
But it's killing me not to go down to the city . . .
I want out
I've gotta get away from you
