Came with a dream to America Came with a dream and a daim It came to leave for a better life Kissing her father goodbye You'll be a star in the future, my girl With a smile you got nothing to lose I loved an actress on Broadway one day She's a lady on fifth avenue She's a lady, nothing to lose No one here to take you home Wanted to work for a better life But there was no work to be found Wasted her youth in America Life would be better at home Followed the dream till the end of the world Like a rainbow hits fading away She paid the price with a youth and a pride She's a lady on fifth avenue She's a lady, nothing to lose No one here to take you home (French lines) She's a lady on fifth avenue Lady, nothing to lose Lady on fifth avenue Lady, nothing to lose Lady on fifth avenue Lady, nothing to lose
