I don’t think you’ll like it   I hear that city’s cold   And the people are much warmer   Two good reasons not to go   You fight traffic all day long   Then you gotta pay to park   You have to go ‘round lockin’ all   Your doors there after dark      Don’t know why you feel you gotta go somewhere   Have you ever thought about just stayin’ here   If you let me I can give you, don’t you know   Every reason not to go      Their football team is lousy   No matter what they do   You can bet come Sunday   They’ll find a way to lose   You’ll hate the way the smog   And the buildings block the sky   Got the prices jacked so high   Takes a million to get by      Don’t know why you feel you gotta go somewhere   Have you ever thought about just stayin’ here   If you let me I can give you, don’t you know   Every reason not to go      There must be something in this town   You’d be missin’ if you moved   ‘Cause I know if you weren’t around   I’d be missin’ you      Don’t know why you feel you gotta go somewhere   Have you ever thought about just stayin’ here   I’m in love with you and baby now you know   Every reason not to go   Every reason not to go   Baby, please don’t go
