Back to the city Lyrics by Pixie Lott

0

At first the boy was tame
Was loving me the old school way
But though his heart was fooling
He knew what he was doing to me

Left his open space
Was living at some country place
But as long as he was willing
The rest of me was easy to please

But then his one-track-mind went wandering out
His picking me up turned to dragging me down
And all my bedside feelings, they all went to waste

Where you gonna go now the love is gone ?
I'm going back to the city
Where you gonna go now the love is gone ?
To where my heart ain't so heavy
The only way to go now that love is gone
I’m going out in the city, the city
I’m ready to get back the joy that time can't take

Drive in the country roads
Pulled out to see the moonlight glow
But when his words were crushing
The view meant nearly nothing to me

Give me the street skylines
The traffic and the London grind
With his boats and packing
It’s gonna paint the right scenery

I should have known his style, going fooling around
Always watching the girls pass, dressing 'em down
He took all my late night feelings and threw 'em to waste

Where you gonna go now the love is gone ?
I'm going back to the city
Where you gonna go now the love is gone ?
To where my heart ain't so heavy
The only way to go now that love is gone
I’m going out in the city, the city
I’m ready to get back the joy that time can't take

These streets, the same as they've ever been
These lights, reviving me back again
You speak but all that I'm hearing is la-la-la-la-la, la-la
Vibrations circle the speakers and
In my heart the down beat is up again
Your name is not long-forgotten
The night gonna be rocking
The whole club is dropping, dropping, dropping (dropping dropping) (oh oh)

Where you gonna go now the love is gone ?
I'm going back to the city
Where you gonna go now the love is gone ?
To where my heart ain't so heavy
The only way to go now that love is gone
I’m going out in the city, the city
I’m ready to get back the joy that time can't take

Ou-ou-ou-ou
(You think you wanna !)
Ou-ou-ou-ou-ou
Ou-ou-ou-ou
Oh oh
(You think you wanna !)
Ou-ou-ou-ou
Oh oh oh
Ou-ou-ou-ou
Oh oh
