Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Woke up in, woke up in New York City lying on the floor
Just outside of Marcy's, West 54
Well, you gonna know my name by the end of the night, yeah
You gonna know my name by the end of the night
[Chorus]
Well, bright lights, big city going to my head
Bright lights, big city going to my head
Bright lights, big city going to my head
I don't care, no, 'cause you don't care, no
[Verse 2]
Start off with the bottle, ended up with the bottle
Taking shots, waiting on tomorrow
Tryin' to fill up what's hollow
You gonna know my name
You gonna know my name
[Chorus]
Bright lights, big city going to my head
Bright lights, big city going to my head
Bright lights, big city going to my head
I don't care, no, 'cause you don't care, no
[Verse 3]
Get lost in the city tryna find myself
I went up a different person, came down somebody else
I know it ain't right, but it's all in my head
But I'm surprised that I'm still alive, I should be dead
[Chorus]
Bright lights, big city going to my head
Bright lights, big city going to my head
Bright lights, big city going to my head
I don't care, no, 'cause you don't care, no
[Bridge]
Well, you gonna know my name
You gonna know my name
You gonna know my name
Oh, you gonna know my name
[Outro]
Hey! You gonna know my name by the end of the night, well?
