On the crest of a wave
Throwing money at strangers
Taking candy from babes
Shaking hands in a big top
As the rain came down
I though it would not stop
Sending letters to paris
From the empire state
Taking pictures from the top
There's a lot of things
For you to do
There's a lot of dreams
That won't come true
I grew up in a big town
The lessons were not hard to learn
If you want them to love you
Then you must not love them in return
Spent the night at a party
Where I drank so much
I fell under your spell
Eight o'clock in the morning
And the daylight makes me
Look and feel like hell
There's a lot of things
For you to do
There's a lot of dreams
That won't come true
There's a lot of things
For you to do
There's a lot of dreams
That won't come true
When you live in a big town
There are sights and sounds
That make you want to cry
When you live in a big town
There are sights and sounds
That make you want to cry
When you live in a big town
There are sights and sounds
That make you want to cry
When you live in a big town
There are sights and sounds
That make you want to cry
I discovered a big town On the crest of a wave Throwing money at strangers Taking candy from babes Shaking hands in a big top As the rain came down I though it would not stop Sending letters to paris From the empire state Taking pictures from the top There's a lot of things For you to do There's a lot of dreams That won't come true I grew up in a big town The lessons were not hard to learn If you want them to love you Then you must not love them in return Spent the night at a party Where I drank so much I fell under your spell Eight o'clock in the morning And the daylight makes me Look and feel like hell There's a lot of things For you to do There's a lot of dreams That won't come true There's a lot of things For you to do There's a lot of dreams That won't come true When you live in a big town There are sights and sounds That make you want to cry When you live in a big town There are sights and sounds That make you want to cry When you live in a big town There are sights and sounds That make you want to cry When you live in a big town There are sights and sounds That make you want to cry Explain Request ×
