"Molly Town"
(Jonathan Shorten / Joss Stone)

I met this boy in Molly Town
He said a-boom, a-boom, boom, boom
He said he'd like to buy my round
I said okay, but you can't buy me, baby
You look just like my favourite sound
So I'll stay, a-la, la-la
Asking if I was allowed to come and play
The rest is history

[Chorus:]
What is a girl like me to do-ooh-ooh
Not for a second, I can't leave you-ooh-ooh
Been here a month and I know your smile, ooh-ooh
My heart is thinking I'll stay a while, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

The weeks went on and the months fell out of my way
What can I say now, babe?
You swore you'd always be around if I stay
So I'm staying
I'll hold my plans to the god of fate and all he'd say
Was boom, boom, boom
You're the point to the life I've found in a way
Don't think I'm crazy

[Chorus:]
What is a girl like me to do-ooh-ooh
Not for a second, I can't leave you-ooh-ooh
Been here a month and I know your smile, ooh-ooh
My heart is thinking I'll stay a while, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, oh

[Post-Chorus:]
Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, eh-oh, oh, eh-oh, oh-eh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, eh-oh, oh, eh-oh, oh-eh, oh, oh, oh

Got my camera, got my ciggs
Any more, I'm leaving it
Run from life as I know it
'Cause he got me, got me, got me transfixed
Thought I'd travel far away
But you caught me half the way
Down in Bordeaux I would stay
'Cause you got me, got me, got me good, babe

[Chorus:]
What is a girl like me to do-ooh-ooh
Not for a second, I can't leave you-ooh-ooh
Been here a month and I know your smile, ooh-ooh
My heart is thinking I'll stay a while, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, oh

[Post-Chorus:]
Ooh, oh
La, da, da, da, da, da, yeah
Oh, oh

[Bridge:]
I'll never let you go
Boy, you're my cuppa cha
I'll never let you go, no, oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
I see our love's been on locking
And there's no talk about stopping
You just don't want to see me go
Every look I've been clocking
On your door I've been knocking
Get your life and baby let's go, go

[Outro:]
I met this boy in Molly Town
He said a-boom, a-boom, boom, boom
He said he'd like to buy my round
I said okay, a-boom, boom, boom
(Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
(Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
(Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh)
