I discovered a big town

On the crest of a wave

Throwing money at strangers

Taking candy from babes

Shaking hands in a big top

As the rain came down

I though it would not stop

Sending letters to Paris

From the Empire state

Taking pictures from the top

There's alot of things

For you to do

There's alot of dreams

That won't come true

I grew up in a big town

The lessons were not hard to learn

If you want them to love you

Then you must not love them in return

Spent the night at a party

Where I drank so much

I fell under your spell

Eight o'clock in the morning

And the daylight makes me

Look and feel like hell

There's alot of things

For you to do

There's alot of dreams

That won't come true

There's alot of things

For you to do

There's alot of dreams

That won't come true

When you live in a big town

There are sights and sounds

That make you want to cry

When you live in a big town

There are sights and sounds

That make you want to cry

When you live in a big town

There are sights and sounds

That make you want to cry

When you live in a big town

There are sights and sounds
