It's a dirty night tonight
I'm just watching the world go by
But nothing ever happens or works out right
Under these city lights
Under these city lights

I've got bad, bad news
I've gone and one what I always do
I've fallen in and out of love with you before you even had a clue

Don't tell me you can't live without me
You still don't know a thing about me
And how the urgency of our demise was just a matter of time
Under these city lights
Under these city lights

It's a dirty night tonight
I'm just watching the cars go by
From this phone booth when I just gotta make the call
And say goodbye
And say goodbye
I just called to say

Don't tell me you can't live without me
You still don't know a thing about me
And how the urgency of our demise was just a matter of time
Under these city lights
Under these city lights

You know I'm leaving and hold on while you can
The tension runs as deep as this city spans
You say you won't forget but I will fade so fast
Write the whole world down it still won't last

Don't tell me you can't live without me
You still don't know a thing about me
And how the urgency of our demise was just a matter of time
Under these city lights
Under these city lights
Under these city lights
Under these city lights
