Well, it's a big, big city and it's always the same
Can never be too pretty, tell me your name
Is it out of line
If I was to be bold to say, "Would you be mine"?
Because I may be a beggar and you may be the queen
I know I may be on a downer, I'm still ready to dream
Though it's three o'clock
The time is just the time it takes for you to talk

So if you're lonely
Why'd you say you're not lonely?
Oh, you're a silly girl
I know I heard it so
It's just like you to come and go
And know me
No, you don't even know me
You're so sweet to try
Oh my, you caught my eye
A girl like you's just irresistible

Well, it's a big, big city and the lights are all out
But it's as much as I can do, you know, to figure you out
And I must confess
My heart's in broken pieces and my head's a mess
And it's four in the mornin' and I'm walkin' along
Beside the ghost of every drinker here who's ever done wrong
And it's you, woo-hoo
That's got me goin' crazy for the things you do

So if you're crazy
I don't care you amaze me
But you're a stupid girl
Oh me, oh my, you talk
I die, you smile, you laugh, I cry
And only
A girl like you could be lonely
And it's a cryin' shame
If you would think the same
A boy like me's just irresistible

So if you're lonely
Why'd you say you're not lonely?
Oh, you're a silly girl
I know I heard it so
It's just like you to come and go
And know me
No, you don't even know me
You're so sweet to try
Oh my, you caught my eye
A girl like you's just irresistible Writer/s: John Lawler
