I'M BACK IN TOWN
Writer: Melanie Safka

From the album BORN TO BE (1968)

I'm back in town

You don't look so happy 'cause I'm back in town

You don't look like smiling

Don't jump up and down on my toes

I guess I better go, oh

I'm very sure

I should have knocked when I opened the door

Pardon me miss, but he's just a friend from before

Who never locked his door

I opened without knocking like before

You wrote me that all was the same

So I came

But I can't find the love in your eyes

I guess that you're surprised

Just like me

I never thought you'd find another she

You liked as well as me

But I guess I was wrong

So I'll be going home, oh.

I'm back in town.

Didn't they tell you that I'm back in town?

You don't look so happy

Don't jump up and down on my toes

You loved me once, you know

I guess that you don't love me anymore

I'm back in town

Didn't they tell you that I'm back in town?

You don't look so happy

Don't jump up and down on my toes

You loved me once, you know
