Married to the City

Well let me introduce myself

My name is Charlotte

Some call me Charlie

Others don’t call me at all

Some call me boring

But I tell them it’s not me who’s yawning

I put that aside and move on with my life

I’ve been up and I’ve been down

But I don’t let that ruin a good time

I’ve ruined lives and broken hearts

But I know I’m in love with the City

I can’t help it, can’t fake it

I’m in love with the City

If I knew how, I’d change it

But the past is the Passed

Never going back

I think I’ve lived, but I’ve never been married

Never found the right one

But who is looking

I’ve had fun

I’ve been drunk

But I’ve never lost it all

And I know that I’m in love with the City

I’ve seen sights, I’ll see more

Because I’m married to the City

I can’t help it, can’t stop it

I’m married to the City

I’ve been locked down

I’ve been free, but I’m married to this City

This city robbed me, so I robbed it back

I paid for that, the City got me back

So I moved on, I had enough of that

And the City called me back

And I know

All through life

I’m married to the City.
