City life is so tough to beat
Though ain't easy on your own two feet
Your hard earned, so easy to spend
That it disappeares like a long-lost friend
So you keep pushing though it's always the same
Just another player in the same old game
You try to sell it for nothing at all
When you're working hard sidestepping the fall
I'm telling like it is, just telling it like it is
I'm telling like it is, just telling it like it is
I'll never be the one to make you cry
But you know I'm a fool 2 try
I'm telling you one-on-one that when it's over, it's never over
City light burns up the street
Though it falls hard on the ones you meet
Your lesson learned so though to pretend
That you can't tell your enemy from your friends so you
I'm telling like it is, just telling it like it is
I'm telling like it is, just telling it like it is
I'll never be the one to make you cry
But you know I'm a fool 2 try
I'm telling you one-on-one that when it's over, it's never over
Never cry
Never... never cry
Never cry
I'll never be the one to make you cry
But you know I'm a fool 2 try
I'm telling you one-on-one that when it's over, it's never over
I'll never be the one to make you cry
But you know I'm a fool 2 try
I'm telling you one-on-one that when it's over, it's never over
