Big City Baby Lyrics

I met a girl when I was down and out
She showed me to her room and I know now
You can always get tired of something you love
Sometimes rain the only thing that comes from above...

But it's alright
When morning comes I'm going to put up a fight
Yeah, it's alright
When my big city baby is up all night
When my big city baby is up all night

I took a plane ride yesterday
From O'Hare to Denver and then to L.A.
All them airports look the same
Driving always seemed to be more sane

But it's alright
When morning comes I'm going to put up a fight
Yeah, it's alright
When my big city baby is up all night
When my big city baby is up all night

I broke a picture of someone I loved
Sometimes bad memories need a good shove
Nothing ever seems to go my way
I've had seven bad years of not my days
I've had seven bad years of not my days

But it's alright
When morning comes I'm going to put up a fight
Yeah, it's alright
When my big city baby is up all night
When my big city baby is up all night

My big city baby is up all night
My big city baby is up all night

Lately (When You Still Believed in Unicorns)

I met a girl when I was down and out
She showed me to her room and I know now
You can always get tired of something you love
Sometimes rain the only thing that comes from above...

But it's alright
When morning comes I'm going to put up a fight
Yeah, it's alright
When my big city baby is up all night
When my big city baby is up all night

I took a plane ride yesterday
From O'Hare to Denver and then to L.A.
All them airports look the same
Driving always seemed to be more sane

But it's alright
When morning comes I'm going to put up a fight
Yeah, it's alright
When my big city baby is up all night
When my big city baby is up all night

I broke a picture of someone I loved
Sometimes bad memories need a good shove
Nothing ever seems to go my way
I've had seven bad years of not my days
I've had seven bad years of not my days

But it's alright
When morning comes I'm going to put up a fight
Yeah, it's alright
When my big city baby is up all night
When my big city baby is up all night

My big city baby is up all night
My big city baby is up all night

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
