  • (Won't, won't let the city, won't, won't let the city)
    Won't let the city destroy our love
    Won't let the city destroy our love

    You know I
    I hate to see you cry
    But when you open up to me
    I take you in my arms
    Wish you the top, top, top, top of the morning

    No, I
    don't care about cash or careers
    Your losses or your arrears
    I take you in my arms
    Wish you the top, top, top, top of the morning

    I
    Won't let the city destroy our love
    Won't let the city destroy my love
    Won't let no mistake take the roof from off our heads
    No I
    Won't let this city destroy us
    Won't let the city destroy our love

    (Come on)
    Talk to me
    Let me shed some light on your dark
    Help you see
    How darling you've left your mark
    On my life
    And the beautiful all around
    When I see you, top, top, top, top of the morning

    I was lost
    Until that night we kissed
    Give it up
    A life, oh darling, not this
    You want more
    Than the hell this city lets you down
    When I see you, top, top, top, top of the morning

    I
    Won't let the city destroy our love
    Won't let the city destroy my love
    Won't let no mistake take the roof from off our heads
    No I
    Won't let this city destroy us
    Won't let the city destroy our love

    Won't let the city destroy our love
    Won't let the city destroy my love
    Won't let no mistake take the roof from off our heads
    No I
    Won't let this city destroy us
    Won't let the city destroy our love

    (Won't let the city, won't, won't let this city)

    No, no, no, no
    Not about the debts you made
    The car we never had
    The house we never owned
    Darling don't look so sad
    It's about that day we kissed
    Down by Niagara Falls
    It's about the keys, the keys, the keys to my heart you hold

    (Top, top, top, top of the morning to you)
    Won't let the city destroy our love
    Won't let the city destroy my love
    Won't let no mistake take the roof from off our heads
    No I
    Won't let this city destroy us
    Won't let the city destroy our love

    Won't let the city destroy our love
    Won't let the city destroy my love
    Won't let no mistake take the roof from off our heads
    No I
    Won't let this city destroy us
    Won't let the city destroy our love

    (Won't let the city, won't, won't let the city)
    Won't let no mistake take the roof from off our heads
    No I
    Won't let this city destroy us
    Won't let the city destroy our love Writer/s: PATRICK WOLF
