Well, it's a big, big city and it's always the same
Can never be too pretty, tell me your name
Is it out of line if I was to be bold
And say, 'Would you be mine'?

Because I may be a beggar and you maybe the queen
I know I maybe on a downer I'm still ready to dream
Though it's 3 o'clock
The time is just the time it takes for you to talk

So if you're lonely why'd you say you're not lonely
Oh, you're a silly girl, I know I hurt you so
It's just like you to come and go

And know me, no, you don't even know me
You're so sweet to try, oh my, you caught my eye
A girl like you's just irresistible

Well, it's a big, big city and the lights are all out
But it's as much as I can do, you know I'll figure you out
And I must confess
My heart's in broken pieces and my head's a mess

And it's 4 in the morning, and I'm walking along
Beside the ghost of every drinker here who's ever done wrong
And it's you, woo hoo
That's got me going crazy for the things you do

And so if you're crazy, I don't care you amaze me
But you're a stupid[Incomprehensible], oh me, oh my, you talk
I die, you smile, you laugh, I cry

Only a girl like you could be lonely
And it's a crying shame, if you would think the same
A boy like me's just irresistible

So if you're lonely why'd you say you're not lonely
Oh, you're a silly girl, I know I hurt it so
It's just like you to come and go

And know me, no, you don't even know me
You're so sweet to try, oh my, you caught my eye
A girl like you's just irresistible
