We came to you big city from our little country town
And every step he takes with you is down
And you're as cold and heartless as your chilling winds that blow
Before you freeze his heart, please let him go
Windy City, you're holding my baby
With your bright lights and your avenues so wide
Windy City, turn loose of my baby
If you don't give him back, I'll lose my mind
At night I walk your sidewalks and look in every bar
I love him even though he's gone too far
Your swinging doors stay open, just to keep him from my side
And I'm on your lonely streets, again tonight
Windy City, you're holding my baby
With your bright lights and your avenues so wide
Windy City, turn loose of my baby
And if you don't give him back, I'll lose my mind
If you don't give him back, I'll lose my mind
