in a nightclub in town, I would love to sit down,
all the seats are taken, all the hearts are breaking,
“have you been here before?”, got a boyfriend for sure,
to chicago I’ll go, friendly people I’m told.
have a drink I’m paying, forget what I’m saying,
is the music too loud, or am I down and out,
“have you been to the states, was it well worth the wait?”,
get a visa for work, send the cheques back.
when will we go to chicago?
no, I’m not on my own, I am waiting, I am waiting,
no, I’m not on my own, I am waiting, I am waiting for someone.
where’d you get that money, not so sure it’s funny
pockets feel so empty, give the cheques back.
