Target Lyrics by Joe Jackson

Night and Day

0

[Chorus]
Uptown—downtown
No one's fussy, I'm a target
Black, white—day, night
No one's fussy, I'm a target

[Verse 1]
Somebody say I'm crazy
Walking in this neighbourhood
Say you can't be too careful
But that won't do no good

[Bridge]
I'm no one special
But in any part of town
Someone could smile at me then
Shake my hand then gun me down

[Chorus]
Uptown—downtown
No one's fussy, I'm a target
Black, white—day, night
No one's fussy, I'm a target

[Verse 2]
Somebody say I'm crazy
Living in this crazy town
I say maybe you're just lazy
Got to either swim or drown

[Bridge]
I know what I'm doing
I'm happy day to day
But then something happens
Takes my nerve away

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
Uptown—downtown
No one's fussy, I'm a target
Black, white—day, night
No one's fussy, I'm a target
