Well, it's hard to live, it's hard to live in the city   Yes, it's hard to live, so hard to live in the city      I've been following you for blocks   And I wish that you would stop and tell me your name   But I couldn't understand   What you told me as you ran away      So just lay your head down low   Don't let anybody know   That it's hard to live, it's hard to live in the city   Yes, it's hard to live, it's hard to live in the city      There's something about you that I couldn't tell   And you were always crazy and I didn't like that   There's something about you that I knew so well      To all those questions, I have no answers   I wish that I could sit in the sun      So just lay your head down low   Don't let anybody know   That it's hard to live, it's hard to live in the city   Yes, it's hard to live, so hard to live in the city      What are you asking? No need for walking out   You took all I could keep   You couldn't even tell me, the look was on you face   I'll think that we have left      To all those questions, I have no answers   I wish that I could sit in the sun
