Lying in that lonesome gutter
Staring at the stars
The moral law within me
Breaks my heart
You told me you would be back again
You don't know when or why
You told me you would 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
