Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Well, it's a big, big city and it's always the same
Can never be too pretty, tell me your name
Is it out of line if was to be bold and say
Would you be mine?
[Verse 2]
Because I may be a beggar and you may be the queen
I know I may be on a downer, I'm still ready a dream
Though it's three o'clock
The time is just the time it takes for you to talk
[Verse 3]
So if you're lonely
Why'd you say you're not lonely?
Oh, you're a silly girl
I know, I heard, it's so
It's just like you to come and go
I know me, no you don't even know me
You're so sweet, so try
Oh my, you've caught my eye
A girl like you's just irresistible
[Verse 4]
Well, it's a big, big city and the lights are all out
But it's as much as I can do, you know I'll figure you out
And I must confess
My heart's all broken pieces and my head's a mess
[Verse 5]
And it's four in the morning and I'm walkin' along
Beside the ghost of every drinker here who's ever done wrong
And it's you, whoa
That's got me goin' crazy for the things you do
[Verse 6]
And so if you're crazy
I don't care, you amaze me
But you're a stupid girl
Oh me, oh my, you talk, I die
You smile, you laugh, I cry
And only a girl like you could be lonely
And it's a crying shame
If you would think the same
A boy like me's just irresistible
[Verse 7]
So if you're lonely
Why'd you say you're not lonely?
Oh, you're a silly girl
I know, I heard, it's so
It's just like you to come and go
I know me, no you don't even know me
You're so sweet, so try
Oh my, you've caught my eye
A girl like you's just irresistible
