MY TOWN, MY GUY AND ME
(L Gore / P Kaufman / B Elgin)

recorded by Lesley Gore
1965


Don't tell me about towns like New York, 'Frisco,
I'm not interested in all that small talk, go-go,
I'm one satisfied
Being here by my baby's side!

Just give me my town, my guy and me,
My town, my guy and me!
My town's got all the other towns beat,
My town's got everything that I need,
Just give me my town, my guy and me!

Don't tell about me all the good times I'm missing,
Nothin's good as the time when we're lovin' and kissing,
I'm happy right here,
Where every night he holds me near!

Just give me my town, my guy and me,
My town, my guy and me!
My town's got what no other town's got,
A guy that loves me and needs me a lot,
So give me my town, my guy and me,
My town, my guy and me!

Oh-oh-oh-oh, I'm happy right here,
Where every night he holds me near!

Just give me my town, my guy and me,
My town, my guy and me!
Just give me my town, my guy and me,
My town, my guy and me!
Just give me my town, my guy and me...
