We've been living in the city such a long time Maybe we should live by the water I'll shape up and you'll fill out and we could buy a house Maybe even have us a daughter Cause the city brings the man out in the man And it makes it hard for me to understand Your feelings I'm so tired of catching trains and coming home late I might even try and cook dinner I'll make contacts in the trees the boss says I could He thinks I should live by the water Shut the door and dim the lights and fix yourself a drink I got something we should consider We've been living in the city such a long time Maybe we should live by the water
