I was walking outside Feeling pretty bad inside My mind felt like scrambled eggs That hadn't been cooked right I was oozing in all directions Trying to Stand up straight Everything was out of place Until i saw your face And these city lights keep me up all night When you're walking in Manhattan Among the rich and famous You feel a sting every time You gotta get back on the bridge Yeah heading home is a drag And being alone is too You make pretend downtown But back home they know the real you And these city lights keep me up all night I saw a lady that was barely there Maybe she was coming home from a Late night She saw me seeing her and said ' Get lost or get outta my sight ' I said ' Hey you think i'm just another loser" She said nothing, I said ' you might be right' She walked faster Strutting her long long legs And I said babe you might be wrong And these city lights keep me up all night Sometimes I get down For no reason and sometimes I get up One day i'll be your friend And then you wont hear from me ever again I don't get this life And i'm almost sure there ain't nothing to get But then I see you And the feeling sets And these city lights keep me up all night
