I knew her well
We suffered through the good and the bad times
Believed above else

She was mine
But she said that it couldn't last forever
Running 'cross the bridge she said


No boy oh no
I won't be coming back again

I've got better things to do
I'm gonna miss you


Chorus
She wants to live in a high-rise
Way up on the east side

A city in high society
She wants to live in a high-rise
Way up on the east side

A city where she can forget about me

I remember the moment

She took me through it in the pouring rain
Said there's something all the love in the world
Ain't gonna change

And as we ran for shelter under the oak tree
She suddenly turned to me


And said no boy oh no
We've pretended long enough
Now the time is almost here

I won't leave no tears no tears

Repeat Chorus


Said she's got to find a way to get up there
Said she hasn't really made it yet to you up there


I won't be coming back again
I've got better things to do

I'm gonna miss you

Repeat Choru
