and i was feeling dirty   when i washed up in the rain   i missed the 7:20, oh   but i caught another train at 8   cuz i was sleeping with your bedroom walls   asking them all the things you told me   there are lies, they replied,   don't mean a thing   don't mean a thing      in my apartment in the city   i always stay out late   always burning out the window   had stars above the lake   i breathe out chicago   like it's the last thing in my lungs   well it's never love if it's a girl that you're giving up   it's never love if it's a girl that you're giving up      so what you think about that one?   you got a lot to lose now   with a baby on the way   are you gonna give him my name?   you could have found some better taste   instead of slumming with those downtown guys   you got diamond eyes for the way they say your name   and i've always tried    where you lie is where i wanna be      in my apartment in the city   i always stay out late   always burning out the window   had the stars above the lake   i breathe out chicago   like it's the last thing in my lungs   well it's never love if it's a girl that you're giving up   it's never love if it's a girl that you're giving up      you're my apartment in the city   you always stay out late   always burning, burning, burning out that fucking window, baby   and i breathe, and you breathe what you see what you need   it's never love if it's a girl that you're giving up   it's never love, never love, if it's a girl that you're giving up   it's never love if it's a girl, girl that you're giving up
