Oh this poor and lonely heart
It is made of pure steel
And you can’t let it cry
At the point of retreat
I populated half the city child
But I still can’t find no love
Somebody has to heal me
Oooh from up above
There ain’t no way that I could stay here
Everyday oh everyday
There it goes her arms that holds me, closely
So closely
No I can’t let it die
This hope I feel
Oh the city’s made me cry
But I still can’t leave her
The streets are paved with pain
Of all my past love
Please don’t let it die
Cause I’ve had enough
There ain’t no way that I could stay here
Everyday oh everyday
There it goes her arms that hold me
Closely so closely
I know that it’s time
For this city of mine
To just crumble down
And let me hold it,
Let me hold it
Let me let me hold it
All you’ve got to do
I know I know
This city’s made for me
