  • And now we're all here, we've moved to New York
    We've found a nice little rental near a sweet little school
    Now I'm looking at houses with four or five floors
    And you've found us a brownstone, said, "You want it? It's yours"

    So we went ahead and we bought it
    Found ourselves a good mortgage
    Billy Cotton got sorted
    All the furniture ordered
    I could never afford this
    You were pushing it forward
    Made me feel a bit awkward
    Made me feel a bit awkward

    I walk up the stoop, I put the key in the door
    And then my phone started ringing so I answered the call
    And they were like, "Hey, you've got a lead in a play
    You've gotta be back in London for rehearsals in May"
    And then later that evening, you said how was my day
    I said, "I got some good news, I got the lead in a play"
    That's when your demeanor started to change
    You said that I'd have to audition, I said, "You're deranged"

    And I thought
    I thought that that was quite strange (I found that strange)
    And I thought
    I thought that that was quite strange (so very strange)

    But I ignored it
    Went ahead and I bought it
    Got a flight and I boarded
    I'm on my way

    Now I'm in London, I'm on my own
    I'm in a hotel room, I'm on my own
    And now I'm in London and I'm all alone
    I'm in a hotel room, I'm all on my own
    Now I'm a West End Girl
    Now I'm a West End Girl
    Now I'm a West End Girl
    A West End Girl

    Hi, how are you? I miss you
    Yeah
    Huh?
    Yeah
    Right
    Um
    Okay
    Well
    I mean, it doesn't make me feel great
    Well, if that's what you need to do, then
    I guess
    Well, how, how will it work?
    Well, right
    I mean it makes me really sad but
    Mhm-mhm
    Mhm-mhm
    No, I'm, I'm fine, I'm fine, I just, I want, I want you to be happy
    Okay
    Okay, I'll speak to you later
    I love you
