IN THIS LITTLE TOWN
THERE'S NO
SKYSCRAPERS
THERE'S TWO
STOP LIGHTS AND A
ONCE-A-WEEK PAPER
THERE'S A PREACHER
ON SUNDAY
QUOTIN' FROM
THE GOOD BOOK
IT FEELS LIKE THE
WHOLE CONGREGATION
IS GIVIN' US A BAD LOOK
'CAUSE WE'RE
CRAZY IN LOVE
OUR HEARTS ARE BURNIN'
TONGUES ARE WAGGIN'
AND HEADS ARE TURNIN'
'CAUSE WE
DANCE TOO CLOSE
AND WE LAUGH TOO LOUD
WE LIVE TOO FAST
AND WE WON'T
SLOW DOWN
GOD ONLY KNOWS
WHAT WE DO
WHEN THERE'S
NO ONE AROUND
WE GOT
EVERYBODY TALKIN'
IN THIS LITTLE TOWN
IN THIS LITTLE TOWN
THERE'S JUST
ONE HIGH SCHOOL
THERE'S A
GENERAL STORE
AND A VFW
THEY ROLL UP
THE SIDEWALKS
AND WE GO CRUISIN'
BUT IT'S NOT THE
STRAIGHT AND NARROW
THAT WE'RE CHOOSIN'
YOU KNOW THE FOLKS
AROUND HERE
THEY LOVE A
GOOD SCANDAL
AND WE'RE GIVIN' THEM
ALL THAT THEY
CAN HANDLE
'CAUSE WE
DANCE TOO CLOSE
AND WE LAUGH TOO LOUD
WE LIVE TOO FAST
AND WE WON'T
SLOW DOWN
GOD ONLY KNOWS
WHAT WE DO
WHEN THERE'S
NO ONE AROUND
WE GOT
EVERYBODY TALKIN'
IN THIS LITTLE TOWN
THEY'RE BURNIN' UP
THE TELEPHONE LINES
TALKIN' BAD ABOUT
OUR GOOD TIMES
BUT WHY SHOULD WE
CHANGE OUR WAYS
THESE ARE THE
GOOD OLD DAYS
'CAUSE WE
DANCE TOO CLOSE
AND WE LAUGH TOO LOUD
WE LIVE TOO FAST
AND WE WON'T
SLOW DOWN
GOD ONLY KNOWS
WHAT WE DO
WHEN THERE'S
NO ONE AROUND
WE GOT
EVERYBODY TALKIN'
IN THIS LITTLE TOWN
YOU KNOW THAT
EVERYBODY'S TALKIN'
IN THIS LITTLE TOWN
GOD ONLY KNOWS
WHAT WE DO
