Can't Make Love
Stan Ridgeway · Other Songs - Stan Ridgeway
To the girls in this city
'cause the girls
Say I abuse them
And I won't go out
With girls because
Girls will fall in love with you
Everybody's lonely, that's true
Maybe it's psychology
I don't know, I gotta move someplace
I can't make love
To the girls in this city
'cause the girls
Say I abuse them
And I won't go out
With girls because
Girls will fall in love with you
Everybody's lonely, that's true
Maybe it's psychology
I don't know, I gotta move someplace
Where the girls are easy
And it makes me miss my lonely city
And the girls are so easy
And it makes me miss my lonely city
And it seems so easy
But I can't say the words that are on my mind
Chorus:
"i'm a nice guy but I don't love you¨c¨c
I just wanna sleep with you."
"i'm a nice guy but I don't love you¨c¨c
I just wanna sleep with you"
Well, I can't make love
To the boys in this city
'cause the boys
Say I abuse them
And I won't go out
With boys because
Boys will fall in love with you
Everybody's lonely, that's true
Maybe it's psychology
I don't know, I gotta move someplace
Where the boys are easy
And it makes me miss my lonely city
And the girls are so easy
And it makes me miss my lonely city
And everybody's so easy
But I can't say the words that are on my mind
Chorus repeat
"i'm a nice guy..." repeat until fade
