Текст песни:

[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 I were simply 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

[Hook]
So if you're lonely
Why'd you say you're not lonely?
Oh you're a silly girl, I know I heard it 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 is just irresistible
[Verse 2]
Well it's a big, big city and the lights are all out
But it's as much as I can do you know to figure you out
And I must confess
My heart's in broken pieces and my head's a mess
And it's 4 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

[Hook]
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 is just irresistible

[Outro]
So if you're lonely, why'd you say you're not lonely
Oh you're a silly girl, I know I heard it 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 is just irresistible

  • [Verse 1] Well she wants to be a singer in the band Maybe I'll give the girl a hand and a microphone Looks like she's all alone She can bring a friend, though she's not my kind of friend She keeps staring me out with her ol' black 'n' blue eyes And I can take her dancing just to give the girl a chance And I was never that good at being nice when I should I guess that she'll forgive me, right before she tries to kill me Cause I sold her on yesterday's come-take-me-home eyes [Verse 2] I can take her waltzing just so she could kick my head in Oh, I do believe I was drunk and both of my heads had shrunk I guess her name was Tina cause before I'd even seen her I was lost in her "what's-your-name Just get me fucked" eyes “Oh take me home” eyes [Chorus] And Chelsea said she's got nowhere to go And if she does, she's getting there slow And I can help her out, but I've got somewhere to be And that's the very thing when you're dealing with me [Bridge] Young soul Dagger, beggin’ me to bag her, filthy heart and swollen hips And she said "oh my dearest I'm not pretty, isn't it a pity That you won't kiss these rotten lips?" So take me home eyes Ole black 'n' blue eyes [Chorus] And Chelsea said she's got nowhere to go And if she does, she's getting there slow And I can help her out, but I've got somewhere to be And that's the very thing when you're dealing with me

  • Well there's nothing more to add before I leave This thing of ours is dead but don't you grieve Is it me or are they younger every night? Just because they can it doesn't make it all right I'm hanging by my teeth waiting on quick relief While the kids don't sleep for days I could die in a hundred odd ways And I'm so sick of hearing how your love for this has died But don't tell me you could do it if you tried It's a shame or a sham he's half as old as I am But don't tell me he could look good if he tried Well it terrifies the life from out of me It's really such a lazy way to be Hiding in the bedroom climbing up the walls You've got to kick it out of me gently Till it begs and pleads and crawls And I'm so sick of hearing how your love for this has died But don't tell me you could do it if you tried It's a shame or a sham he's half as old as I am But don't tell me he could look good if he tried And I'm so sick of hearing how your love for this has died But don't tell me you could do it if you tried It's a shame or a sham he's half as old as I am But don't tell me he could look good if he tried And wont you make sure My mother gets half my weight in gold Tell her I just did what I was told Grab your expensive coat and bury it inside But don't tell me you could do it if you tried
  • Well you’ve been scratching around in the basement Looking for somewhere to hide Making your own entertainment Trying hard to salvage some pride Well you’re the last of the original orphans And baby you’re a wonderful friend I love the way you say I’m forgiven And that I don’t have to pretend I’m no squeeze Well I’m no Monday’s child Tell me please Half a made up story Of syncopated glory Of when you and the kid ran wild And I know your kind You’ve got a dirty mind You think that half the world’s gone blind Well don’t ya And I can’t get on While you should be just good as gone When everything you say sounds wrong Oh yes it does Oh baby why don’t ya Well you say you only want to amuse me Just flash me that toothless smile You tie me up in words that confuse me And terrorize me all the while Aw you’re so twee And you’re so very dim Every time we meet You tell me of the time When you wish that you was mine And now it hurts you when you try to begin And I know your kind You’ve got a filthy mind You think that half the world’s gone blind Well don’t ya And I can’t get on While you should be just good as gone When everything you say sounds wrong Oh yes it does Oh baby why don’t ya Oh baby why don’t ya Oh I know your kind You’ve got a filthy mind You think that half the world’s gone blind Don’t ya And I can’t get on While you should be just good as gone When everything you say sounds wrong Oh yes it does Oh baby why don’t ya Oh baby why don’t ya Oh baby why don’t ya Oh baby why don’t ya
