Yes I know the city like a lover
Good or bad it's hard to love another that I've found
This is no mean town, no mean city

When I'm far away I long to see ya
In my mind I know you'll always be around
This is no mean town, no mean city

City life is strange you take your share of the good times and bad times
Always something playing on your mind
Playing on your mind
It's the only place that I would be willing to die for
It's the only life I've ever seen

Night or day she feeds me like a mother
Good or bad it's hard to love another that I've found
This is no mean town, no mean city

Yes I know the city like a lover
Good or bad it's hard to love another that I've found
This is no mean town, no mean city

City life is strange you take your share of the good times and bad times
Always something praying on your mind
Praying on your mind
It's the only place that I would be willing to die for
It's the only life I've ever seen
This town is so mean, no mean city, no mean city.
