(no subject)

well it's a big big city and it's always the same
can never be too pretty, tell me you your name
is it out of line
if I was to be bold and say "would you be mine?"

because I may be a beggar and you may be the queen
I know I may be on a downer, I'm still ready to dream
though it's three o'clock
the time is just the time it takes for you to talk

so if you're lonely, why would you say you're not lonely?
oh you're a silly girl, I know I hurt you so
it's just like you to come and go
and know me, no, you don't even know me
you're so sweet to try, oh my, you caught my eye
a girl like you's just irresistible

well it's a big big city and the lights are all out
but it's much as I can do, you know I'll figure you out
and I must confess, my heart's in broken pieces
and my head's a mess
and it's four in the morning, and I'm walking along
beside the ghost of every drinker here who's ever done wrong
and it's you, woo hoo
that's got me going crazy for the things you do

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

so if you're lonely, why would you say you're not lonely?
oh you're a silly girl, I know I hurt you so
it's just like you to come and go
and know me, no, you don't even know me
you're so sweet to try, oh my, you caught my eye
a girl like you's just irresistible
