Its that time of the season, when the blood runs hot
And God must have a reason when the temperature drops.
One more nameless baby and a momma in shame
Not one of the fathers of the churches came

For a motherless child in the wild, wild city
It aint no place for a girl so young and pretty
A motherless child in the wild, wild city
Cause the city aint no place for a lonely girl

It could happen to me, it could happen to you
Its the luck of the draw, its the blow of the dice
There aint nothin that you can do
She took too many daddies, took too many home
Tryna find the one, someone elses son
She couldnt weather those streets alone

For a motherless child in the wild, wild city
It aint no place for a girl, so young and pretty
A motherless child in the wild, wild city
Cause the city aint no place for a lonely girl

For a motherless child in the wild, wild city
It aint no place for a girl, so young and pretty
A motherless child in the wild, wild city
Cause the city aint no place, no no
The city aint no place, no no
The city aint no place for a lonely girl
