Summer in the City
Q.J. Lyrics

Heard the one about your woman
I heard a rumor about your significant other

Lord, she's been messing 'round
She has been unfaithful

She's been stepping out on the street
She has been going out and doing questionable things

Lord, she's been hanging out
She has been spending time with people other than you

Ain't nobody had her this week but it won't take long
No one else has been with her recently, but that will change soon

And I hope it won't mess with me
I hope this situation won't affect me

Walking downtown the other day
I was walking in the city recently

A man put a gun in my back
Someone threatened me with violence

"Give me all you've got or I'll blow you away
"Give me everything you have or I will kill you"

That's a fact, Jack"
He is serious and not joking

Woe me, misery, too much been going down
I am feeling overwhelmed and upset by recent events

Catch the next train out of here
I am leaving the city as soon as possible

Goodbye, I'll see you, so long
I am saying goodbye to the city and the people in it

Time was I could face it here
I used to be able to handle living in the city

That was a long time ago
It has been a while since I felt comfortable living here

I'll leave you very low, next time you won't see me at all
I am leaving with no intention of returning or keeping in touch

Lord, lord, there's trouble in the city
The city is going through a difficult period

And I hope it won't mess with me
I hope I won't be affected by the city's troubles
