Never been to London,
never been to France
never was sorry
never learned to dance
Never walked down
to 42nd Street and Frairs
never smoked any
filtered air
Guess it's true
what all the people say
gonna have to mend
my old time ways, yeah
I guess it's true, guess,
I've lived a sheltered life
Never walked about
on the streets at night
never got into
an uptown fight
Never smoked a hookah,
never saw a rug
couldn't even squash
a beetle bug
Guess it's true
I'm gonna have to change my ways
guess it's true
what all the people say, yeah
I know it's true, guess,
I've lived a sheltered life
Never went to parties
in a chauffeured car
never wore a top hat
'cause I won't get far
Never learned to handle
all the things that I've seen
maybe I'll grow up
to be big and mean
Guess it's true
what all the people say
gonna have to change
my old fashioned ways, well
I guess it's true, guess,
I've lived a sheltered life
