Lyrics
MY TOWN
(SHERRI MULLEN)
I?M GONNA BE STANDING WHEN YOU FALL
I?M GONNA BE SMILING AFTER ALL
THE DUST HAS SETTLED DOWN
BABY THIS HERE IS MY TOWN
I?M GONNA BE WIDE AWAKE IN THE NIGHT
NOBODY?S GONNA BRING ME DOWN WITHOUT A FIGHT
NO I DON?T MESS AROUND
BABY THIS HERE IS MY TOWN
(CHORUS)
YOU CAN BE THE FLAVOR
IN MY ITALIAN ICE
BUT DO YOURSELF A FAVOR
YOU BETTER TREAT ME RIGHT
OR YOUR GONNA GO DOWN, DOWN, DOWN
CAUSE BABY THIS HERE IS MY TOWN
I?M GONNA LIVE MY LIFE WILD AND FREE
SO DON?T BE THINKING ONE SEXY LOOK IS EVER GONNA CHANGE ME
NO I AIN?T NO LOST AND FOUND
BABY THIS HERE IS MY TOWN
I?M GONNA GO OUT WITH ALL MY FRIENDS
SO HONEY THOSE JEALOUS WAYS ARE GONNA HAVE TO END
I?M NOT JUST ANOTHER DOG IN YOUR POUND
AND BABY THIS HERE IS MY TOWN
(CHORUS)
YOU CAN BE THE FLAVOR
IN MY ITALIAN ICE
BUT DO YOURSELF A FAVOR
YOU BETTER TREAT ME RIGHT
OR YOUR GONNA GO DOWN, DOWN, DOWN
CAUSE BABY THIS HERE IS MY TOWN
(SOLO)
(CHORUS)
YOU CAN BE THE FLAVOR
IN MY ITALIAN ICE
BUT DO YOURSELF A FAVOR
YOU BETTER TREAT ME RIGHT
OR YOUR GONNA GO DOWN, DOWN, DOWN
CAUSE BABY THIS HERE IS MY TOWN
