Well, it's hard to live, it's hard to live in the city
Yes, it's hard to live, so hard to live in the city

I've been following you for blocks
And I wish that you would stop and tell me your name
But I couldn't understand
What you told me as you ran away

So just lay your head down low
Don't let anybody know
That it's hard to live, it's hard to live in the city
Yes, it's hard to live, it's hard to live in the city

There's something about you that I couldn't tell
And you were always crazy and I didn't like that
There's something about you that I knew so well

To all those questions, I have no answers
I wish that I could sit in the sun

So just lay your head down low
Don't let anybody know
That it's hard to live, it's hard to live in the city
Yes, it's hard to live, so hard to live in the city

What are you asking? No need for walking out
You took all I could keep
You couldn't even tell me, the look was on you face
I'll think that we have left

To all those questions, I have no answers
I wish that I could sit in the sun
