We're in the same city walls, but I can't move past these doors To see what I'm hoping to find That you've been looking for me, you wouldn't want me to be Alone in this city tonight But I've learned my lesson this time around I won't cry this time around It won't be my last time around Alone in this city tonight Well, you told me you'd call so I sat by the phone My hopes flew impossibly high But to my disbelief you never thought about me And I'm alone in this city tonight But I've learned my lesson this time around I won't cry this time around It won't be my last time around Alone in this city tonight Well it's not that bad to keep my heart's pieces and let no one in If I had done that, but I hoped that maybe you'd love me right back But you don't, no you don't And I'm alone in this city tonight Well I might be jaded, but to me they're all the same And baby it's not worth the fight To hope for that man who might come take my hand And warm up this city tonight Cause I've learned my lesson this time around I won't cry this time around It won't be my last time around Alone in this city tonight I'm alone in this city tonight Alone in this city for life
