Chicago, nothing here for me You got to set me free, Chicago Chicago, ain't a home for a girl alone Chicago There ain't one soul in this town that I ever found Who cares if I live or if I die One of these days I'm gonna pack up my bags Put a smile on my face and say goodbye Say goodbye to Chicago Chicago, got no hold on me You gotta set me free, Chicago Chicago, streets are cold Chill me to my very soul I'm gonna go somewhere where people aren't so scared To show that they care And they're likely to be kind I'm gonna erase every memory of this place Get it out of my mind Leave it behind Chicago Lord, how I yearn to be able to turn And not to find somebody waitin' to shoot me down It's just more than I can take Makin' a break from this town, I won't hang around Chicago, ain't a home for a girl alone Chicago, ain't a home for a girl alone Chicago, Chicago
