| If it came to pass that they should ask
|
| What could I tell them
|
| Would they criticize behind my back
|
| Maybe I should let them
|
| Oh if only then and only then
|
| They would understand
|
| They’d turn a full-blooded city boy
|
| Into a full-blooded city man
|
| If they could face it
|
| I could take it in their eyes
|
| Oh I know I’d make it
|
| Their tiny minds
|
| And sacred cows just fake it
|
| If only then and only then
|
| They would understand
|
| They’d turn a full-blooded city boy
|
| Into a full-blooded city man
|
| But I know the way they want me
|
| In the way they publicize
|
| If they could turn their focus off
|
| To the image in their eyes
|
| Maybe it would help them, help them understand
|
| Maybe it would help them, help them understand
|
| Maybr it would help them, hrlp them understand
|
| That a full-blooded city boy
|
| Is now a full-blooded city man
|
| Oh my soul
|
| Oh my soul
|
| Oh my soul |
