Nice Place To Visit - Rare Earth

Well it’s a real nice place to visit, but you wouldn’t want to live here

It’s a damn nice place to be, and they really make you give here

Children run around in the street with dirty feet, I can’t repeat what they say

I gave my lovin' to a woman last night and never known it, 'til today

Something’s got to change my way of thinking 'bout the money I’m spending after

I been drinking, lordy

I really wouldn’t live here

I really wouldn’t live here

You pay a real high price for something that is nice when you get here

But something rotten on the side has got to ruin your pride after you’ve been

here

Ten or twelve women who have gone astray, they’re living only for the dollar

and another day

When you can come here, when you can come here

Something’s got to change my way of being and this dirty old life that I been

seeing, lordy

I really wouldn’t live here

Nice place to visit!

But you wouldn’t want to live here

Nice place to visit!

But you wouldn’t want to live here

Now what’s a man supposed to do if there’s a love that isn’t true in his life?

That’s why he’ll take his foolish pride and move it over to the side,

for any real wife

Then in his mind he’ll search and find why he is blind, and what he is doing

here

That’s why I sing this foolish thing can only bring you down, after you’ve been

here

Something’s got to change my way of being and this rotten old life that I been

seeing, lordy

I really wouldn’t live here

Nice place to visit!

But you wouldn’t want to live here

Nice place to visit!

But you wouldn’t want to live here, no no

Such a nice place to visit!

But you wouldn’t want to live here

Such a nice place to visit!

But you wouldn’t want to live here, no no no
