The other day, I posted something in another thread where I asked members what was the first word that popped into their head when they saw/heard the word "cheap"?
My first response was from
Whoknows and his reply was "perfume". That phrase, cheap perfume, made me instantly think of Journey's DON'T STOP BELIEVING. The post went in a different direction from what I planned but it was so much fun! Example, there were other responses to the word "cheap" that included shoddy, floozy and several more and
huxley999 was able to cite songs with those words in them!
Let's pick a RANDOM word and see if a song comes to mind. My guess is not every word will trigger a song to pop into our heads, but who knows. If you would kindly post a few lines of the song that reflects "the word", the name of the song and the artist and if you like, a YouTube link to the song. PLEASE ATTACH YOUR SONG TO THE PARTICULAR "WORD OF THE DAY".
Let's have some musical fun!

With a letter in front

You with the sad eyes
Don't be discouraged
Oh I realize
Its hard to take courage
In a world full of people
You can lose sight of it all
And the darkness inside you
Can make you feel so small
But I see your TRUE colors
Shining through
I see your TRUE colors
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your TRUE colors
TRUE colors are beautiful
Like a rainbow
Show me a smile then
Don't be unhappy, can't remember
When I last saw you laughing
If this world makes you crazy
And you've taken all you can bear
You call me up
Because you know I'll be there
And I'll see your TRUE colors
Shining through
I see your TRUE colors
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your TRUE colors

I'll be TRUE to you yes I will
I'll be true to you yes I will
I won't look twice when the other girls go by
I'll be true to you yes I will
Somehow this time it's all so clear to me
The way to go is easy to see
My heart is sure you're the girl I've waited for
I'll be true to you yes I will
Yes I will
I used to be the kind
Who said that every girl's the same
And love was just a game for havin' fun
But when I looked at you
I knew that I was wrong
And that I really could belong to only one
I'll be true to you yes I will
Every dream that you have I'll fulfil
I never promised this to any girl before
But I'll be true to you yes I will
I never promised this to any girl before
But I'll be true to you yes I will
Yes I will
Yes I will
Yes I will
Oh, yes I will
So true funny how it seems
Always in time, but never in line for dreams
Head over heels when toe to toe
This is the sound of my soul
This is the sound
I bought a ticket to the world
But now I've come back again
Why do I find it hard to write the next line?
Oh, I want the truth to be said
I know this much is true
I know this much is true
With a thrill in my head and a pill on my tongue
Dissolve the nerves that have just begun
Listening to Marvin all night long
This is the sound of my soul
This is the sound
Always slipping from my hands
Sand's a time of it's own
Take your seaside arms and write the next line
Oh, I want the truth to be known
I know this much is true
I know this much is true
I bought a ticket to the world
But now I've come back again
Why do I find it hard to write the next line?
Oh, I want the truth to be said
I know this much is true
I know this much is true
This much is true
This much is true
This much is true
This much is true
This much is true
I know, I know, I know this much is true
This much is true
This much is true
This much is true
This much is true
I know, I know, I know this much is true
This much is true
This much is true
This much is true

So what are you doing back?
Well, I sat back and thought about the things we used to do
It really meant a lot to me, you mean a lot to me
I really mean that much to you?
Girl, you know it's true
I'm in love with you girl 'cause you're on my mind
You're the one I think about most every time
And when you pack a smile in everything you do
Don't you understand, girl, this love is TRUE
You're soft, succulent so sweet and thin
That's kind of like a vision upon your skin
It lightens up my day, and that's oh so TRUE
Together we're one separated we're two
To make you all mine, all mine is my desire
'Cause you contain a quality, you that I admire
You're pretty plain and simple, you rule my world so try to understand

I'm just in love girl
And this is TRUE
Girl, you know it's true

My emotions starts up when I hear your name
Maybe your sweet sweet voice would ring in my ear
And stimulate my senses when you are near
Come with your positive emotion, love, making enjoyin'
That's for me to bust it's like a girl and a boy
These feelings I get I often wonder why
So I thought I might discuss this, girl, just you
And I now what you're wearing I don't care, as I've said before
No reason that I like you, girl, just for what you are
If I said I'd think about it, you rule my world so try to understand

Don't ask me
What you know is true
Don't have to tell you
I love your precious heart
I
I was standing
You were there
Two worlds collided
And they could never tear us apart
We could live
For a thousand years
But if I hurt you
I'd make wine from your tears
I told you
That we could fly
'Cause we all have wings
But some of us don't know why
I was standing
You were there
Two worlds collided
And they could never ever tear us apart
I
I was standing

See the stars come falling down from the sky,
Gently passing, they kiss your tears when you cry.
See the wind come softly blow your hair from your face,
See the rain hide away in disgrace.
Still I'm sad.
For myself my tears just fall into dust,
Day will dry them, night will find they are lost.
Now I find the wind is blowing time into my heart,
Let the rain fall, for we are apart.
Still I'm sad,
Still I'm sad,
Oh, Still I'm sad.

In the still of the night
I held you
Held you tight
'Cause I love
Love you so
Promise I'll never
Let you go
In the still of the night
I remember
That night in May
The stars were bright above
I'll hope and I'll pray
To keep
Your precious love
Well before the light
Hold me again
With all of your might
In the still of the night
So before the light
Hold me again
With all of your might
In the still of the night
In the still of the night
That may be the original but, and please don’t judge me too harshly, I have always enjoyed this version since coming across it.

The Rose - Francoise Hardy
only registered users can see external links
A lifetime comes and goes
And as my friend the rose said only yesterday
"This morning I was born
And baptised in the dawn
I flowered in the dew
And life was fresh and new
The sun shone through the cold
And through the day I grew
By night-time I was old"
"At least there's never been
No, you have never seen
A rose more bright and gay"
A lifetime comes and goes
And as my friend the rose said only yesterday
"The good lord smiled on me
So why then should it be
I feel I'm falling now
Oh yes, I'm falling now
My heart no-one can save
My head begins to bow
My feet are in the grave"
The rose God smiled upon
Tomorrow will be gone
Forever gone away
A lifetime comes and goes
And so my friend the rose was dead at break of day
The moon is shining bright
And in my dreams tonight
Beneath the starlit sky
My friend the rose goes by
He has seen my dreams I see
A soul that wouldn't die
STILL watching over me
Whatever fortune brings
I'll hope for better things
Or life will just be grey
"A lifetime comes and goes"
That's what my friend the rose
Said only yesterday
Still Doin' Time

Has it been a year since the last time I've seen her
My God I could swear it was ten
And the ocean of liquor I drank to forget her
Is gonna kill me but I'll drink till then
I've been livin' in hell with a bar for a cell
Still payin' for my cheatin' crime
Oh, and I got a long way to go, still doin' time
Still doin' time in a honky tonk prison
Still doin' time, where a man ain't forgiven
My poor heart is breakin' but there's no escapin'
Each morning I wake up and I find
Still doin' time
Oh, when you're caught cheatin' twice it's twenty to life
In a place where the sun never shines
And tomorrow you're gonna find me right here
Still doin' time
Still doin' time in a honky tonk prison
Still doin' time, where a man ain't forgiven
My poor heart is breakin' but there's no escapin'
Each morning I wake up and I find,
Still doin' time
Still doin' time

Shirelles - Will you still love me tomorrow
Tonight you're mine completely
You give your love so sweety
Tonight the light of love is in your eyes
But will you love me tomorrow
Is this a lasting treasure
Or just a moment's pleasure
Can I believe the magic of your sighs
Will you still love me tomorrow
Tonight with words unspoken
You said that I'm the only one
But will my heart be broken
When the night (when the night)
Meets the morning (meets the morning) sun
I'll like to know that your love
Is love I can be sure of
So tell me now and I won't ask again
Will you still love me tomorrow
Will you still love me tomorrow
Will you still love me tomorrow
BTW thanks for starting this thread, it is the one thing I come to site for. Without I don't think I would be here.
Still Crazy After All These Years
Paul Simon
I met my old lover on the street last night
She seemed so glad to see me, I just smiled
And we talked about some old times and we drank ourselves some beer
Still crazy after all these years, still crazy after all these years
I'm not the kind of man who tends to socialize
I seem to lean on old familiar ways
And I ain't no fool for love songs that whisper in my ears
Still crazy after all these years, still crazy after all these years
Four in the morning, I'm tapped up and yawning, longing my life away
I never worry, why should I, oh yeah, it's all gonna fade
Now I sit by my window and I watch the cars roll by
I fear I'll do some damage one fine day
But I would not be convicted by a jury of my peers
Still crazy after all these years
Still crazy, still crazy, still crazy after all these years
You always won, everytime you placed a bet
You're STILL damn good, no one's gotten to you yet
Everytime they were sure they had you caught
You were quicker than they thought
You'd just turn your back and walk
You always said, the cards would never do you wrong
The trick you said was never piay the game too long
A gambler's share, the only risk that you would take
The only loss you could forsake
The only bluff you couldn't fake
And you're STILL the same
I caught up with you yesterday
Moving game to game
No one standing in your way
Turning on the charm
Long enough to get you by
You're STILL the same
You STILL aim high
There you stood, everybody watched you play
I just turned and walked away
I had nothing left to say
'Cause you're STILL the same
You're STILL the same
Moving game to game
Some thlngs never change
You're STILL the same

Looks like we made it
Look how far we've come my baby
We mighta took the long way
We knew we'd get there someday
They said "I bet they'll never make it"
But just look at us holding on
We're STILL together still going strong
You're still the one I run to
The on that I belong to
You're still the one I want for life
(You're still the one)
You're still the one I love
The only one I dream of
You're still the one I kiss good night
Ain't nothin' better
We beat the odds together
I'm glad we didn't listen
Look at what we would be missin'
They said "I bet they'll never make it"
But just look at us holdin' on
We're still together still goin' strong
You're still the one I run to

Look how far we've come my baby
We've been together since way back when
Sometimes I never want to see you again
But I want you to know, after all these years
You're STILL the one I want whisperin' in my ear
You're STILL the one -- I want to talk to in bed
STILL the one -- that turns my head
We're STILL having fun, and you're STILL the one
I looked at your face every day
But I never saw it 'til I went away
When winter came, I just wanted to go (wanted to go)
Deep in the desert, I longed for the snow
You're STILL the one -- that makes me laugh
STILL the one -- that's my better half
We're still having fun, and you're STILL the one
You're STILL the one -- that makes me strong
STILL the one -- I want to take along
We're STILL having fun, and you're STILL the one (yes you are)
Changing, our love is going gold
Even though we grow old, it grows new
You're STILL the one -- that I love to touch
STILL the one -- and I can't get enough
We're STILL having fun, and you're still the one
You're STILL the one -- who can scratch my itch
STILL the one -- and I wouldn't switch
We're STILL having fun, and you're STILL the one
You are STILL the one -- that makes me shout
STILL the one -- that I dream about
We're still having fun, and you're STILL the one
You're STILL the one, yeah STILL the one
We're STILL having fun, and you're STILL the one

Seven Year Ache Rosanne Cash, Trisha Yearwood
You act like you were just born tonight
Face down in a memory but feeling all right
So who does your past belong to today?
Baby, you don't say nothing when you're feeling this way
The girls in the bars thinking, "who is this guy?"
But they don't think nothing when they're telling you lies
You look so careless when they're shooting that bull
Don't you know heartaches are heroes when their pockets are full
Tell me you're trying to cure a seven-year ache
See what else your old heart can take
The boys say, "when is he gonna give us some room"
The girls say, "God I hope he comes back soon"
EVERYBODY's talking but you don't hear a thing
You're still uptown on your downhill swing
Boulevard's empty, why don't you come around?
Baby, what is so great about sleeping downtown?
Splitting your dice to be someone you're not
You say you're looking for something you might've forgot
Don't bother calling to say you're leaving alone
'Cause there's a fool on every corner when you're trying to get home
Just tell 'em you're trying to cure a seven-year ache
See what else your old heart can take
The boys say, "when is he gonna give us some room"
The girls say, "God I hope he comes back soon"
Tell me you're trying to cure a seven-year ache
See what else your old heart can take
The boys say, "when is he gonna give us some room"
The girls say, "God I hope he comes back soon"
Everybody Wants to Rule the World Tears for Fears
Welcome to your life there's no turning back
Even while we sleep we will find
You acting on your best behavior
Turn your back on mother nature
Ev'rybody wants to rule the world
It's my own desire, it's my own remorse
Help me to decide, help me make the most
Of freedom and of pleasure
Nothing ever lasts forever
Everybody wants to rule the world
There's a room where the light won't find you
Holding hands while the walls come tumbling down
When they do, I'll be right behind you
So glad we've almost made it
So sad they had to fade it
Ev'rybody wants to rule the world
I can't stand this indecision
Married with a lack of vision
Everybody wants to rule the world
Say that you'll never, never, never, need it
One headline, why believe it?
Everybody wants to rule the world
All for freedom and for pleasure
Nothing ever lasts forever
Everybody wants to rule the world

"Everybody Needs Love" - Gladys Knight
Say you wanna be loved
But you won't let me love you
Say you want someone to trust in you, baby
Can't you see that's what I'm tryin' to do?
I know you've been hurt before
And you're afraid to try love once more
Without love by your side
You're only half alive
'Cause everybody needs love, oh, yeah
Everybody needs love
Say you wanna be kissed
But you won't let me kiss you
Say you wanna be missed
Can't you see how my arms are missing you?
She's got you hurting so inside
Now, with love you try to hide
But no matter how you try
Without love you can't survive
'Cause everybody needs love, oh, yeah
Everybody needs love, oh, love's alright
You need love, I need love, everybody needs love
Baby, don't you know that?
You need love and I need love
Everybody needs love
Say you wake up in the morning, yes, you will
Feeling, ooh, so empty inside
I bet I know what your trouble is, baby
You need someone like me by your side
I know you've been hurt before
But don't be afraid to try love once more
'Cause without love you'll find
You'll have no peace of mind
'Cause everybody needs love, oh, yeah
Everybody needs love
You need love and I need love
Everybody needs love, love, love
You need love, I sure need love
Everybody needs love

Spent a long, long evening in a low down honky-tonk bar
Pulled a low down lady with a long black honky-tonk car
I asked no questions, I got no lies
A one off winner, I didn't want any ties
And I knew it wasn't right
Well, EVERYBODY has to sometimes break the rules
Took me down on the highway doing too many miles an hour
And by the way she motored thought we might have made the Eiffel Tower
She stopped the motor by her own front door
I knew she'd done it so many times before
But I was off of the floor
But everybody has to sometimes break the rules
I woke up next morning feeling kind of up and down
'Cos I did not know if I was in or out of the town
Then I saw the face from the night before
My purse was empty lying there on the floor
But like I told you before
That, everybody has to sometimes break the rules
I spend a low down evening sitting high on a honky-tonk stool
And I spent my money like a low down honky-tonk fool
But everybody has to sometimes break the rules
Well, everybody has to sometimes break the rules
Yes, everybody has to sometimes break the rules
I'll drive a million miles
To be with you tonight
So if you're feeling low
Turn up your radio
The words we use are strong
They make reality
But now the music's on
Oh baby dance with me yeah
Rip it up
Move down
Rip it up
Move it down to the ground
Rip it up
Cool down
Rip it up
And get the feeling not the word
EVERYBODY have fun tonight
EVERYBODY have fun tonight
EVERYBODY Wang Chung tonight
EVERYBODY have fun tonight
EVERYBODY Wang Chung tonight
EVERYBODY have fun
Deep in the world tonight
Our hearts beat safe and sound
I'll hold you so close
Just let yourself go down
Rip it up
Move down
Rip it up
Move it down to the ground
Rip it up
Cool down
Rip it up
Get out what's inside of you
EVERYBODY have fun tonight
EVERYBODY have fun tonight
EVERYBODY Wang Chung tonight

Come on everybody and snap your fingers now
Come on everybody clap your hands real loud
Come on everybody take a real deep breath
And repeat after me

Come on everybody and whistle this tune right now

And I was born to rock
Well, come on everybody and turn your head to the left
Come on everybody and turn your head to the right
Come on everybody take a real deep breath
And repeat after me

Hey, hey, hey and my baby loves me

Summer in the City - Lovin' Spoonful

Hot town, summer in the city
Back of my neck getting dirty and gritty
Been down, isn't it a pity
Doesn't seem to be a shadow in the city
All around, people looking half dead
Walking on the sidewalk, hotter than a match head
But at night it's a different world
Go out and find a girl
Come-on come-on and dance all night
Despite the heat it'll be alright
And babe, don't you know it's a pity
That the days can't be like the nights
In the summer, in the city
In the summer, in the city
Cool town, evening in the city
Dressing so fine and looking so pretty
Cool cat, looking for a kitty
Gonna look in every corner of the city
Till I'm wheezing like a bus stop
Running up the stairs, gonna meet you on the rooftop
But at night it's a different world
Go out and find a girl
Come-on come-on and dance all night
Despite the heat it'll be alright
And babe, don't you know it's a pity
That the days can't be like the nights
In the summer, in the city
In the summer, in the city
Hot town, summer in the city
Back of my neck getting dirty and gritty
Been down, isn't it a pity
Doesn't seem to be a shadow in the city
All around, people looking half dead
Walking on the sidewalk, hotter than a match head
But at night it's a different world
Go out and find a girl
Come-on come-on and dance all night
Despite the heat it'll be alright
And babe, don't you know it's a pity
That the days can't be like the nights
In the summer, in the city
In the summer, in the city

I'm tired of this dirty old city
And tired of too much work
And never enough play
And I'm tired of these dirty old sidewalks
Think I'll walk off my steady job today
Turn me loose, set me free
Somewhere in the middle of Montana
And give me all I've got coming to me
And keep your retirement
And your so-called Social Security
Big city turn me loose and set me free
Been working everyday since I was twenty
Haven't got a thing to show
For anything I've done
There's folks who never work and they've got plenty
Think it's time some guys like me had some fun, so
Turn me loose, set me free
Somewhere in the middle of Montana
And give me all I've got coming to me
And keep your retirement
And your so-called Social Security
Big city turn me loose and set me free
Hey, big city, turn me loose and set me free
Going to the CITY, got you on my mind,
Country sure is pretty, I'll leave it all behind,
This is my decision, I'm coming home to stay this time
'Cause I'm a fool for the city, I'm a fool for the city,
Fool for the city, I'm a fool for the city
Breathing all the clean air, sitting in the sun,
When I get my train fare, I'll get up and run
I'm ready for the city, air pollution here I come
'Cause I'm a fool for the city, I'm a fool for the city,
I'm a fool for the city, I'm a fool for the city
I'm like a fish out of water, I'm just a man in a hole
The city lights turn my blues into gold
I ain't no country boy, I'm just a homesick man
I'm gonna hit the grit just as fast as I can
I'm tired of laying back, hanging around,
I'm gonna catch that train, then I'll be city bound
I ain't no country boy, I'm just a homesick man
I'm gonna hit the grit just as fast as I can
I'll get off on Main Street, step into the crowd,
Sidewalk under my feet, yeah, traffic's good and loud
When I see my inner city child, I'll be walkin' on a cloud
'Cause I'm a fool for the city, I'm a fool for the city,
I'm a fool for the city, I'm a fool for the city
I'm a fool, (Fool for the city)
A fool for the city, (Fool for the city)
I'm a fool, (Fool for the city)
A fool for the city, (Fool for the city)
I'm a fool, (Fool for the city)
A crazy fool, (Fool for the city)
I'm a fool yea, (Fool for the city)
A fool for the city, (Fool for the city)
(Fool for the city) (Fool for the city)
I ain't no country boy, woo! (Fool for the city)
(Fool for the city)
Woo! (Fool for the city) (Fool for the city)
A Fool for the city (Fool for the city) (Fool for the city)
Who! (Fool for the city) (Fool for the city)
Fool For the City, again? Did you only listen to Foghat?
A church house, gin house
A school house, outhouse
On highway number nineteen
The people keep the city clean
They call it Nutbush, oh Nutbush
They call it Nutbush CITY limits
Twenty-five was the speed limit
Motorcycle not allowed in it
You go t'the store on Fridays
You go to church on Sundays
They call it Nutbush, been a long time, oh Nutbush
They call it Nutbush CITY limits
You go to the fields on week days
And have a picnic on Labor Day
You go to town on Saturday
But go to church every Sunday
They call it Nutbush, oh Nutbush
They call it Nutbush CITY limits
No whiskey for sale
You get caught, no bail
Salt pork and molasses
Is all you get in jail
They call it Nutbush, oh Nutbush
Yeah they call it Nutbush CITY
Nutbush CITY limits
A little old town in Tennessee, it's called
Quiet little old community, a one-horse town
You have to watch what you're puttin' down
In old Nutbush, they call it Nutbush

When shadows beckon on dim-lit avenues
Night people hear the call
From hidden alleys and secret rendezvous
They come out one and all
The city by night
Lies wide awake
It never sleeps
Make no mistake
Whatever sets off the spark
A magic glow lights the dark
And I'm intrigued by the sight
Of the CITY by night
Those crowded nightclubs, those picturesque cafes
Are scenes no one forgets
And I'm enchanted, as music softly plays
By dancing silhouettes
The city by night
Lies wide awake
It never sleeps
Make no mistake
The evening's full of surprise
It's magic opens my eyes
And I'm intrigued by the sight
Of the city by night
Yeah
When the daylight is falling down into the night
And the sharks try to cut a big piece out of life
It feels alright to go out to catch an outrageous thrill
But it's more like spinning wheels of fortune
Which never stand still
Big city, big city nights
You keep me burning
Big city, big city nights
When the sunlight is rising up in my eyes
And the long night has left me back at somebody's side
It feels alright for a long sweet minute like hours before
But it's more like looking out for something
I can't find anymore
Big city, big city nights
You keep me burning
Big city, big city nights
Always yearning
There is no dream
That you can't make true, if you're looking for love
But there's no girl
Who's burning the ice away from my heart
Maybe tonight!
Big city, big city nights
You keep me burning
Big city, big city nights
Always yearning
Big city, big city nights
You keep me burning
Big city, big city nights
Always yearning

Born in Glasgow, Vince and his family came to live in Australia when he was 11 years old. He grew up in Wollongong, NSW, listening to his musician father’s collection of great jazz albums, and the feel, style and essence of the music became a natural part of Vince’s world. Starting his jazz performance journey as a bebop trumpet player, the young man had no idea that in 10 years, then 20 years – his superb voice would touch the hearts and minds of many listeners – in Australia and beyond. At 20, Vince began playing the club circuit in Melbourne. He was drawn to R&B music – a genre in which the emotive force of the voice is matched by technical and improvising skills. To a young man steeped in jazz and blessed with a good voice – it was natural to meld these elements together and so began the evolution of one of Australia’s great jazz vocalists.
7th album Trustworthy Little Sweethearts 1988
Big City
There's no place on Earth that I'd rather be
Give me the bright lights
Big cities for me
Don't live in the country
All those hippies running free
All I want are the bright lights
Big cities for me
Now come on, come on, to the city
Big cities for me
I got a woman and she's waiting there for me
And I met her in the city
Big cities for me
Night-time is the right time
Shock town is my town
I got a woman and she's waiting there for me
I met her in the city
Big cities for me
Night-time is the right time
Shock town is my town

Album: It All Ends Up In Tears Released: 1987
She stood there bright as the sun on that California coast
He was a Midwestern boy on his own
She looked at him with those soft eyes so innocent and blue
He knew right then he was too far from home
Oh
He was too far from home
She took his hand and she led him along that golden beach
They watched the waves tumble over the sand
They drove for miles and miles up those twisting turning roads
Higher and higher and higher they climbed
And those Hollywood nights
In those Hollywood hills
She was looking so right
In her diamonds and frills
Oh those big CITY nights
In those high rolling hills
Above all the lights
She had all of her skills
He'd headed west cause he felt that a change would do him good
See some old friends, good for the soul
She had been born with a face that would let her get her way
He saw that face and he lost all control
He had lost all control
Night after night, day after day it went on and on
Then came that morning he woke up alone
He spent all night staring down at the lights on LA
Wondering if he could ever go home
And those Hollywood nights
In those Hollywood hills
It was looking so right
It was giving him chills
In those big city nights
In those high rolling hills
Above all the lights
With a passion that kills
In those Hollywood nights
In those Hollywood hills
She was looking so right
In her diamonds and frills
Oh, those big CITY nights
In those high rolling hills
Above all the lights
She had all of her skills (Hollywood nights)
(Hollywood nights)
(Hollywood nights)
(Hollywood hills)
(Above all the lights)
(Hollywood nights)

[Chorus]
When the lights go down in the CITY,
And the sun shines on the bay
Ooh, I wanna be there in my CITY, oh
Oh, oh, oh
[Verse]
So you think you're lonely
Well, my friend, I'm lonely too
I want to get back to my CITY by the bay
Oh, oh, oh
[Bridge]
It's sad, oh, there's been mornings out on the road without you
Without your charms
Ooh, my, my, my, my, my, my
Oh, oh, oh
[Chorus]
When the lights go down in the CITY
And the sun shines on the bay
Ooh, I wanna be there in my CITY, oh
Oh, oh, oh
[Chorus]
When the lights go down in the CITY
And the sun shines on the bay
Ooh, I wanna be there in my CITY, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Mmm
Oh, oh, oh
