- Can't Take This Town Lyrics / with translationsThere's a woman in the mirror, fixing her lips
There's a man in the bathroom, looking for tips
I park the car, and no-one to pay
And one pizza later, it's towed away
I can't take this town, I just don't believe it
I can't take this town, I better love it or leave it
I can't take this town, I just don't believe it
I can't take this town, I better love it or leave it
Sitting eating dinner, just the other day
Not my friends, I didn't know what to say
A woman leaned over, said you gotta have hits
And all I could do was stare at her
I can't take this town, I just don't believe it
I can't take this town, I better love it or leave it
I can't take this town, I just don't believe it
I can't take this town, I better love it or leave it
Caught in a crossfire, a child goes down
No-one saw a thing, or heard a sound
Life is cheap, or so it would appear
Try telling his mama, she can't stop the tears
I can't take this town, I just don't believe it
I can't take this town, I better love it or leave it
I can't take this town, I just don't believe it
I can't take this town, I better love it or leave it
There's a man in the bathroom, looking for tips
I park the car, and no-one to pay
And one pizza later, it's towed away
I can't take this town, I just don't believe it
I can't take this town, I better love it or leave it
I can't take this town, I just don't believe it
I can't take this town, I better love it or leave it
Sitting eating dinner, just the other day
Not my friends, I didn't know what to say
A woman leaned over, said you gotta have hits
And all I could do was stare at her
I can't take this town, I just don't believe it
I can't take this town, I just don't believe it
I can't take this town, I better love it or leave it
Caught in a crossfire, a child goes down
No-one saw a thing, or heard a sound
Life is cheap, or so it would appear
Try telling his mama, she can't stop the tears
I can't take this town, I just don't believe it
I can't take this town, I better love it or leave it
I can't take this town, I just don't believe it
I can't take this town, I better love it or leave it
