I gotta see my girl, I gotta see her eyes
The barometer is falling, only she can make it rise
There’s nothing on the trees, there’s nothing for me here
I gotta find salvation and some thermal underwear
Ooh, you were meant to be near me
Ooh, and I want you to hear me
Say we’ll be together every day
Got to get you into my life
We belong to the light, we belong to the thunder
We belong to the sound of the words we’ve both fallen under
Whatever we deny or embrace for worse or for better
We belong, we belong, we belong together
‘Cause you belong to the city
You belong to the night
Livin’ in a river of darkness
Beneath the neon lights
They say the neon lights are bright on Broadway
They say there’s always magic in the air
But when you’re walkin’ down that street
And you ain’t had enough to eat
The glitter rubs right off and you’re nowhere
And if it’s there
Don’t let it get you down,
You can take it.
And if it hurts
Don’t let them see you cry,
You can make it.
Don’t tell me not to fly, I simply got to.
If someone takes a spill, it’s me and not you.
Who told you you’re allowed to rain on my parade?
Don’t be that way, bitch.
Let me introduce you
To my three best friends,
Mr. Johnson and the Juice Crew.
If you see the Princess Zelda,
Well, you know you’re gonna grab her
So why don’t you try and come grab
My inflatable poo-jabber?
Yeah, you got to mix it child
You got to fix it must be love
It’s a bitch
I don’t ask for much, I only want your trust,
And you know it don’t come easy.
And this love of mine keeps growing all the time,
And you know it don’t come easy.
If only life were easy it would be such fun
Things would be more equal and be plenty for everyone
And it’s a hard, and it’s a hard, it’s a hard, and it’s a hard
And it’s a hard rain’s a-gonna fall
I said, that’s life (that’s life) and as funny as it may seem
Some people get their kicks
Stompin’ on a dream
But I don’t let it, let it get me down
‘Cause this fine old world it keeps spinnin’ around
Don’t tell me not to fly
I’ve simply got to
If someone takes a spill
It’s me and not you
Who told you you’re allowed
To rain on my parade
There’s no fight we cannot win
Just you and I, defying gravity
With you and I defying gravity
They’ll never bring us down!
I used to think that I could not go on
And life was nothing but an awful song
But now I know the meaning of true love
I’m leaning on the everlasting arms
If I can see it, then I can do it
If I just believe it, there’s nothing to it
Now it’s the same old song
But with a different meaning, since you’ve been gone
I could shake my tiny fist and swear I wasn’t wrong
But what’s the sense in arguing when you’re all alone?
When you’re alone and life is making you lonely
You can always go
Downtown
When you’ve got worries, all the noise and the hurry
Seems to help, I know
Downtown
Before we leave
Lemme tell y’all a li’l something
Uptown funk you up
