Bright lights big city went to my baby's head,
Bright lights big city went to my baby's head.
I tried to tell her mama, but she wouldn't hear what I said.
So long pretty baby, you're gonna need my help someday,
So long pretty baby, you're gonna need my help someday.
You're gonna wish you had listened to something that I had to say.
Go on, pretty baby, and knock yourself out,
Go ahead, pretty baby, you don't know what love is all about.
Bright lights big city went to my baby's head,
Bright lights big city went to my baby's head.
Tried to tell her mama, but she wouldn't hear what I said.
Bright lights big city went to my baby's head,
Bright lights big city went to my baby's head.
Tried to tell her mama, but she wouldn't hear what I said.
Go ahead, pretty baby, knock yourself out.
Go on, pretty baby, you don't know what love is all about.
Bright lights big city went to my baby's head,
Bright lights big city went to my baby's head.
Tried to tell her mama, but she wouldn't hear what I said.
Bright lights big city went to my baby's head,
I still want you, listen to what I've, I've gotta say,
I still want you babe, lie down home in bed, oh yeah ...
