In the Heart of the City That Has No Heart lyrics

She wanted to roam, so she left the old home

The old people's hearts were sore

She longed for the sights and the bright city lights

Where hundreds had gone before

She went to the heart of the city

And mingled with strangers there

But nobody said, "You are being misled"

For what did the stranger care?

In the heart of the city that has no heart

That's where they meet and that's where they part

The current of vice has proved too strong

So the poor little girlie just drifted along

Nobody cared if she lived or died

Nobody cared if she laughed or cried

She's just a lost sister, and nobody missed her

She's there in the city, where there's no pity

In the city that has no heart

Nobody cared if she lived or died

Nobody cared if she laughed or cried

She's just a lost sister, and nobody missed her

She's there in the city, where there's no pity

In the city that has no heart
