City Ain’t Big Enough Lyrics by Holly Valance

Footprints

2002

[Intro]
Ooh
Yeah
Ooh
Ahh

[Verse 1]
We met at work
And we played from the start
You were the DJ
I was working behind the bar
Our love was sudden
You were doing something wrong
You started seeing someone aside

[Pre-Chorus]
In the beginning, 'ginning
When you were spinning, spinning
It was my song you were playing
I was never saying
What I was feeling, feeling
What was I dealing, dealing
But I can't hold it back no more

[Chorus]
'Cos I don't wanna be friends
Baby you better know
What you are letting go
You burn the light in both ends
Typical when you got a lot
One is not enough
The city ain't big enough
Doctor, doctor
Give me something
So I can fight till the end
'Cos the city ain't big enough
For both of us
Both of us
Both of us

[Verse 2]
Didn't want to turn it into a catfight
But when the trouble hit double
Maybe you won't lie
I wrote a letter telling you who came first
And that my bubble is about to burst

[Pre-Chorus]
In the beginning, 'ginning (Beginning, 'ginning)
When you were spinning, spinning (Spinning, spinning)
It was my song you were playing
I was never saying
What I was feeling, feeling (Feeling, feeling)
What was I dealing, dealing
But I can't hold it back no more

[Chorus]
'Cos I don't wanna be friends
Baby you better know
What you are letting go (Letting go)
You burn the light in both ends
Typical when you got a lot (When you got a lot)
One is not enough
The city ain't big enough
Doctor, doctor
Give me something
So I can fight till the end (Fight till the end)
'Cos the city ain't big enough (Fight till the end)
For both of us
Both of us
Both of us

[Bridge]
I don't want this to get ugly
But if you push it, girl just trust me
If you think that this is ok
You don't know what I'm about
And boy, just wipe the smile off your face
You ain't that good at all anyway
And if you think that we're friends that way
You don't know what I'm about

[Chorus]
'Cos I don't wanna be friends
Baby you better know (You better know)
What you are letting go
You burn the light in both ends
Typical when you got a lot (When you got a lot)
One is not enough
The city ain't big enough
Doctor, doctor (Give me something)
Give me something
So I can fight till the end (So I can fight till the end)
'Cos the city ain't big enough (City ain't big enough)

'Cos I don't wanna be friends (I don't wanna be your friend)
Baby you better know
What you are letting go
You burn the light in both ends (Burn the light in both ends)
Typical when you got a lot
One is not enough
The city ain't big enough
Doctor, doctor (Doctor, doctor)
Give me something (Give me something)
So I can fight till the end
'Cos the city ain't big enough
For both of us
Both of us
Both of us

[Outro]
I don't want, don't wanna be friends
Gonna fight until the end
I don't want, don't wanna be friends
Typical, one is not enough
I don't want, don't wanna be friends (One is not enough)
Gonna fight until the end
I don't want, don't wanna be friends
