She's been afraid to go out
She's afraid of the knock on her door
There's always a shade of a doubt
She can never be sure

Who comes to call?
Maybe the friend of a friend of a friend
Anyone at all
Anything but nothing again

It used to be her town, it used to be her town, too
It used to be her town, it used to be her town, too

Seems like even her old girlfriends
Might be talking her down
She's got her name on the grapevine
Running up and down the telephone line

Talking 'bout someone said someone said something 'bout
Something else someone might have said about her
She always figured that they were her friends
But maybe they can live without her

It used to be her town, it used to be her town, too
It used to be her town, it used to be her town, too

Well, people gotten used to seeing them both together
But now he's gone and life goes on
Nothing lasts forever, oh no

She gets the house and the garden
He gets the boys in the band
Some of them his friends, some of them her friends
Some of them understand

Lord knows that this is just a small town city, yes
And everyone can see you fall
It's got nothing to do with pity
I just wanted to give you a call

It used to be your town, it used to be my town, too
You never know until it all falls down
Somebody loves you, somebody loves you
Darling, somebody still loves you

I can still remember her
When it used to be her town, too

It used to your town, it used to be my town, too
You never know until it all falls down
Somebody loves you, somebody loves you
