Lonely Town, Lonely Street
Navigating Life's Lonely Streets: Sheryl Crow and Citizen Cope's Melodic Reflection
Lyrics
Ooh, ah
Expressing a sound of admiration or excitement
Ooh, ah
Continuation of the expressive sounds
Ooh, ah
Further continuation of the expressive sounds
Ooh, ah
Continuation of the expressive sounds
You can live your life in a crowded city
Living in a busy city
You can walk along a crowded street
Walking on a busy street
But the city really ain't no bigger
Suggesting that the city is not larger than the friendly people encountered
Than the friendly people, friendly people that you meet
Emphasizing the importance of friendly interactions in the city
You might be a sweet young, sweet young pretty pretty
Describing a sweet and pretty person
And at the dances you can't keep your seat
Unable to stay seated at dances due to attractiveness
But if dances don't lead to romances
Suggesting that dances should lead to romances
You might as well be born, be born with two left feet, yeah
Humorous expression, implying clumsiness with two left feet
Ooh, ah
Expressive sounds, possibly indicating mood or emotion
Ooh, ah
Continuation of the expressive sounds
You might be a sweet-toned sure 'nuff high-class talker
Describing someone as a skilled and classy talker
You might be a stone, stone expert at kissing, yea
Highlighting expertise in kissing but with limited impact if not heard
But it don't do too much good to be talkin', no no
Emphasizing the importance of being heard while talking
Brother, when there ain't no, ain't nobody listenin'
Suggesting the futility of talking when nobody is listening
And if you are shy, just not much of a talker
Describing someone as shy and not a talker
And you don't impress the people that you meet
Indicating that the person fails to impress others
You might as well be a lonely walker
Comparing a person to a lonely walker in a lonely town
In a lonely town, on a lonely street
Emphasizing loneliness in both town and street
Ooh, ah
Expressive sounds, possibly indicating mood or emotion
Ooh, ah
Continuation of the expressive sounds
Ooh, ah
Further continuation of the expressive sounds
Ooh, ah
Continuation of the expressive sounds
Ooh
Final expressive sounds, possibly concluding the song
