And a head full of ache, and a heart full of pity, fell in love with a girl from the city Is he a better man than I can be She's into him, she's not into me So smitten now, but out of reach She's got a thing that they can't teach And I'm hypnotized by her eyes so pretty, I fell in love with a girl from the city
And she lives in a different neighborhood I'd call her up but it'd do no good and we haven't spoken in a while And she looks at the window on the skyline A cathedral built in ancient times With shops and store i've haven't heard of And the traffic jam, and the mornin rush and the men in suits rushing for the bus and the voices echo down the street But I been lookin at the world through my window and the misty panes of glass And holdin on with out-streched arms for the things we fail to grasp Cause the distance won't change the way I feel, hook line and sinker, caught on the reel
And a head full of ache and a heart full of pity I fell in love with a girl from the city Is he a better man than I could be, She's into him, She's not into me So smitten now but out of reach She's got a thing that they can't teach And I'm hypnotized by her eyes so pretty, I fell in love with a girl from the city
And I'm just a quiet guy with a quiet life She's from the city where it's all high rise And the crime fills the news through tinted glass and twisted views And now she's leavin town and I don't suppose I'll see her round But I guess that's the price I paid, but kissing her is the best mistake I've made With her hair so blond and her eyes so blue, lips so red, what could I do a voice so soft but she's with him and that's one fight that I can't win And I hope, I hope he knows, I hope he never lets her go He's a lucky man and I hope he knows, I hope he never lets her go
And a head full of ache, and a heart full of pity, fell in love with a girl from the city Is he a better man than I can be She's into him, she's not into me So smitten now, but out of reach She's got a thing that they can't teach And I'm hypnotized by her eyes so pretty, I fell in love with a girl from the city
I been sittin on my own waitin for her to come home x8 And a head full of ache, and a heart full of pity, fell in love with a girl from the city Is he a better man than I can be She's into him, she's not into me So smitten now, but out of reach She's got a thing that they can't teach And I'm hypnotized by her eyes so pretty, I fell in love with a girl from the city x2
