Interpret:
Joan Armatrading
Album:
Whatever's for Us
You came into town 
 With your big ideas 
 You'll find out 
 That life just ain't that 
 Way here


 There's such a lot of 
 Big fish in the sea 
 But don't take my word 
 Just sit back and you'll see


 While closing the door 
 Turned and said I've seen you baby 
 But I've got you fooled 
 And so has 
 X million more...


 There's such a lot of 
 Pretence in this world 
 But don't take my word 
 Just sit back and you'll see


 So settle down [settle down] 
 City girl [city girl] 
 Make life what it should be 
 Lots of laughs [lots of laughs] 
 All you want [all you want] 
 That's how it oughtta to be


 But don't take my word 
 Just sit back and you'll see


 While closing the door 
 Turned and said I've seen you baby 
 But I've got you fooled 
 And so has 
 X million more, yeah


 There's such a lot of 
 Pretence in this world 
 But don't take my word 
 Just sit back and you'll see


 So settle down [settle down] 
 City girl [city girl] 
 Make life what it should be 
 Lots of laughs [lots of laughs] 
 All you want [all you want] 
 That's how it oughtta to be


 But don't take my word 
 Just sit back and you'll see 
 Don't take my word 
 Just sit back and you'll see
