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
