I am just a girl, one among the others, nothing much to say

Plain and simple girl, not a special type in any way

Just one look, and you will surely see

That the true "Miss Nobody" is me

It's an evil world that has only made me a girl

I am just a girl, not the kind of woman men would like to meet

Just another girl no-one ever looks at in the street

But today, I can't believe it's true

When you smiled and whispered "I love you"

Darling I could see, I was meant to be your girl

It's a funny feeling when you get to love someone

And thinking that he'll never look your way

But then he says he loves you, and life has just begun

It's so much more than any words can say

I am just a girl, not the kind of woman men would like to meet

Just another girl no-one ever looks at in the street

But today, I can't believe it's true

When you smiled and whispered "I love you"

Darling I could see, I was meant to be your girl

La la la la la, la la la la la-la, la la la la l

Coming through a cloud you're looking at me from above

And I'm a revelation spreading out before your eyes

And you find me beautiful and irresistible

A giant creature that forever seems to grow in size

And you feel a strange attraction

The air is vibrant and electrified

Welcome to me here I am my arms are open wide

Somewhere in the middle of the neverending noise

There is a constant steady rhythm of a heart that beats

And a million voices blend into a single voice

And you can hear it in the clamour of the crowded streets

People come and take their chances

Sometimes you win sometimes you lose a lot

Come make your own contribution to this melting pot

I'm the street you walk

The language you talk

I am the city

The skyline is me and the energy

I am the city

The famous hotels and the cocktail bars

And the funny smells

And the turmoil the cars and the people

The air that you're breathing is me

Yes I am the city you let me be

People feed me with their lives I am a hungry soul

And they all worship me and pay their homage day and night

Every day I knew a lot of tired shopping feet

But come the night they will be dancing in the neon light

Dazzled by the crazy magic

They're grabbing pieces of the fatted calf

And in the wind if you listen hard you'll hear me laugh

I'm the street you walk

The language you talk

I am the city

The skyline is me and the energy

I am the city

The famous hotels and the cocktail bars

And the funny smells

And the turmoil the cars and the people

The parks and the squares that you see

All the sounds that you hear

And the air that you're breathing is me

Yes I am the city you let me be

I am the city

You let me be

I am the city

The famous hotels and the cocktail bars

And the funny smells

And the turmoil the cars and the people

The air that you're breathing is me

(Last line is sung simultaneously with next line)

Coming through a cloud

You're looking at me from above

And I'm a revelation spreading out before your eyes

(Last line is sung simultaneously with next line)

I'm the street you walk

The language you talk

I am the city

Yes I am the city you let me be

And you find me beautiful and irresistible

A giant creature that forever seems to grow in size

(Last line is sung simultaneously with next line)

The skyline is me and the energy

I am the city

You let me be

Somewhere in the middle of the neverending noise

There is a constant steady rhythm of a heart that beats

(Last line is sung simultaneously with next line)

I'm the street you walk

The language you talk

I am the city

Yes I am the city you let me be

And a million voices blend into a single voice

And you can hear it in the clamour of the crowded streets

(Last line is sung simultaneously with next line)

The skyline is me and the energy

I am the city

You let me be

Love me or leave me, make your choice but believe me

I love you

I do, I do, I do, I do, I do

I can't conceal it, don't you see, can't you feel it?

Don't you too?

I do, I do, I do, I do, I do

Oh, I've been dreaming through my lonely past

Now I just made it, I found you at last

So come on, now let's try it, I love you, can't deny it

'Cos it's true

I do, I do, I do, I do, I do

Oh, no hard feelings between you and me

If we can't make it, but just wait and see

So come on, now let's try it, I love you, can't deny it

'Cos it's true

I do, I do, I do, I do, I do

So love me or leave me, make your choice but believe me

I love you

I do, I do, I do, I do, I do

I can't conceal it, don't you see, can't you feel it?

Don't you too?

I do, I do, I do, I do, I do

------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have a dream, a song to sing

To help me cope with anything

If you see the wonder of a fairy tale

You can take the future even if you fail

I believe in angels

Something good in everything I see

I believe in angels

When I know the time is right for me

I'll cross the stream - I have a dream

I have a dream, a fantasy

To help me through reality

And my destination makes it worth the while

Pushing through the darkness still another mile

I believe in angels

Something good in everything I see

I believe in angels

When I know the time is right for me

I'll cross the stream - I have a dream

I'll cross the stream - I have a dream

I have a dream, a song to sing

To help me cope with anything

If you see the wonder of a fairy tale

You can take the future even if you fail

I believe in angels

Something good in everything I see

I believe in angels

When I know the time is right for me

I'll cross the stream - I have a dream

I'll cross the stream - I have a dream

------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm hearing images, I'm seeing songs

No poet has ever painted

Voices call out to me, straight to my heart

So strange yet we're so well acquainted

I let the music speak, with no restraints

I let my feelings take over

Carry my soul away into the world

Where beauty meets the darkness of the day

Where my mind is like an open window

Where the high and healing winds blow

From my shallow sleep the sounds awake me

I let them take me

(Let them wake me, let them now, let them take me)

Let it be a joke

Let it be a smile

Let it be a farce if it makes me laugh for a little while

Let it be a tear

Let it be a sigh

Coming from a heart, speaking to a heart, let it be a cry

Some streets are emptiness, dry leaves of autumn

Rustling down an old alley

And in the dead of night I find myself

A blind man in some ancient valley

I let the music speak, leading me gently

Urging me like a lover

Leading me all the way

Into a place

Where beauty will defeat the darkest day

Where I'm one with every grand illusion

No disturbance, no intrusion

Where I let the wistful sounds seduce me

I let them use me

(All illusion, no disturbance, no intrusion)

Let it be a joke

Let it be a smile

Let it be a farce if it makes me laugh for a little while

Let it be a tear

Let it be a sigh

Coming from a heart, speaking to a heart, let it be a cry

Let it be a tear

Let it be a sigh

Coming from a heart, speaking to a heart, let it be a cry

Let it be the joy of each new sunrise

Or the moment when a day dies

I surrender without reservation

No explanations

No questions why

I take it to me and let it flow through me

Yes, I let the music speak

I let the music speak

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I saw it in the mirror, I saw it in my face

That I'm no longer needed, anyone can take my place

I saw it in the mirror when I look into my eyes

'Cause something sure is wrong when this boy cries

(This boy cries)

I saw it in the mirror, my head is hanging low

And I ain't too familiar with the feelings that I show

I know you say you love me, but I'm looking through your lies

It doesn't really bother you if this boy cries

(This boy cries)

I never thought I could cry for you

But honey I will miss you 'til the day I die

('Til the day I die)

I saw it in the mirror, I saw it in my face

That I'm no longer needed, anyone can take my place

I saw it in the mirror when I look into my eyes

'Cause something sure is wrong when this boy cries

(This boy cries, this boy cries)

------------------------------------------------------------------------

This park and these houses, old streets I have walked

Everything dear, will it be here

One day when I am returning?

My friends will get married, have children and homes

It sounds so nice, well-planned and wise

Never expecting surprises

I wonder, it's frightening

Leaving now, is that the right thing?

I wonder, it scares me

But who the the hell am I if I don't leave it

I'm not a coward

Oh no, I'll be strong

One chance in a lifetime

Yes I will take it, it can't go wrong

My friends and my family, this dull little town

Buses I've missed, boys that I've kissed

Everything old and familiar

I wonder, it's frightening

Leaving now, is that the right thing?

I wonder, it scares me

But who the the hell am I if I don't leave it

I'm not a coward

Oh no, I'll be strong

One chance in a lifetime

Yes I will take it...

Yes I will take it, it can't go wrong

------------------------------------------------------------------------

I got appointments, work I have to do

Keeping me so busy all the day through

They're the things that keep me from thinking of you

Ohhh baby, I miss you so, I know I'm never gonna make it

Oh, I'm so restless, I don't care what I say

And I lose my temper ten times a day

Still it's even worse when the night's on its way

It's bad, oh, so bad

Somehow I'd be doing alright if it wasn't for the nights

(If it wasn't for the nights I think that I could make it)

I'd have courage left to fight if it wasn't for the nights

(If it wasn't for the nights I think that I could take it)

How I fear the time when shadows start to fall

Sitting here alone and staring at the wall

Even I could see a light if it wasn't for the nights

(Even I could see a light I think that I could make it)

Somehow I'd be doing alright if it wasn't for the nights

(If it wasn't for the nights I think that I could take it)

No one to turn to, you know how it is

I was not prepared for something like this

Now I see them clearly, the things that I miss

Ohhh baby, I feel so bad, I know I'm never gonna make it

I got my business to help me through the day

People I must write to, bills I must pay

But everything's so different when night's on its way

It's bad, oh, so bad

Somehow I'd be doing alright if it wasn't for the nights

(If it wasn't for the nights I think that I could make it)

I'd have courage left to fight if it wasn't for the nights

(If it wasn't for the nights I think that I could take it)

How I fear the time when shadows start to fall

Sitting here alone and staring at the wall

Even I could see a light if it wasn't for the nights

(Even I could see a light I think that I could make it)

Somehow I'd be doing alright if it wasn't for the nights

(If it wasn't for the nights I think that I could take it)

Guess my future would look bright if it wasn’t for the nights

If it wasn’t for the nights, If it wasn’t for the nights

Even I could see a light if it wasn’t for the nights

Guess my future would look bright if it wasn’t for the nights

"You're so free," that's what everybody's telling me

Yet I feel I'm like an outward-bound, pushed around, refugee

Something's wrong, got a feeling that I don't belong

As if I had come from outer space, out of place, like King Kong

I'm a marionette, just a marionette, pull the string

I'm a marionette, everybody's pet, just as long as I sing

I'm a marionette, see my pirouette, round and round

I'm a marionette, I'm a marionette, just a silly old clown

Like a doll, like a puppet with no will at all

And somebody told me how to talk, how to walk, how to fall

Can't complain, I've got no-one but myself to blame

Something's happening I can't control, lost my hold, is it safe?

I'm a marionette, just a marionette, pull the string

I'm a marionette, everybody's pet, just as long as I sing

I'm a marionette, see my pirouette, round and round

I'm a marionette, I'm a marionette, just a silly old clown

"Look this way, just a little smile," is what they say

"You look better on the photograph if you laugh, that's okay"

I'm a marionette, just a marionette, pull the string

I'm a marionette, everybody's pet, just as long as I sing

I'm a marionette, see my pirouette, round and round

I'm a marionette, I'm a marionette, just a silly old clown

"You're so free," that's what everybody's telling me

Yet I feel I'm like an outward-bound, pushed around, refugee

------------------------------------------------------------------------

I, I've been in love before

I thought I would no more

Manage to hit the ceiling

Still, strange as it seems to me

You brought it back to me

That old feeling

I, I don't know what you do

You make me think that you

Possibly could release me

I think you'll be able to

Make all my dreams come true

And you ease me

You thrill me, you delight me

You please me, you excite me

You're something I'd been pleading for

I love you, I adore you

I lay my life before you

I'll have you want me more and more

And finally it seems my lonely days are through

I've been waiting for you

I, I'm gonna make you mine

You're gonna feel so fine

You'll never want to leave me

I feel you belong to me

Someday you will agree

Please, believe me

You thrill me, you delight me

You please me, you excite me

You're something I'd been pleading for

I love you, I adore you

I lay my life before you

I'll have you want me more and more

And finally it seems my lonely days are through

I've been waiting for you

Oh, I've been waiting for you

Na na na, na na na, na-na na

Na na na, na na na, na-na na

Na na na, na na na, na-na na-naa

(repeat and fade)
