Lying in the lonesome gutter staring at the stars
The moral law within me breaks my heart
You told me you'd be back again
You don't know when or why
You told me you'd be back again some other time
Please let me be your darling I'm a lonely guy
Please let me be your darling I'm a lonely guy
But I don't want you thinking I'm not right
Cause it's a high time to be living in the city of lights
Speak to me your words of wisdom I heard you've got a lot
Know those empty promises I made but I forgot
You've got your own problems and well I've got mine
But you're pulling me back over to the other side
Please let me be your darling I'm a lonely guy
Please let me be your darling I'm a lonely guy
But I don't want you thinking I'm not right
Cause it's a high time to be living in the city of lights
