Kansas City
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I listen to you time and time again
While you tell me just what's right
And you tell me 1000 things a day
Then sleep somewhere else that night
Goin back to Kansas City
And I love you dear
But just how long
Can I keep singing this same old song
And I love you dear
But just how long can I keep singing this same old song
I'm goin back to Kansas City
And you call me to come then I do
Then you say you've made some mistake
You invited me into your house
Then you say that you gotta pay for what you brake
Goin back to Kansas City
And I love you, dear
But just how long
Can I keep singing this same old song?
And I love you dear, but just how long can I keep singing this same old song?
Goin back to Kansas City
Gypsy woman, you know every place I go
Even a thousand miles away from home
You don't care if I'm asleep or I'm awake
This fickle heart just turned to stone
Going back to Kansas City
