Big City Guy Lyrics

Big city guy
I know you think I'm shy
but I want you to know
you'll never make me cry

You're giving every girl the eye
but I'm gonna pass you by
Big city guy
Big city guy

I see you playing all the city girls
you take their heart for a whirl
you think I'll be easy prey
'cause I'm not hip to your city ways

You're giving every girl the eye
but I'm gonna pass you by
Big city guy
Big city guy

You think you can get your joy
by treating me like I'm a toy
you think you can get your kicks
by putting me in a fix
locked in your new sports car
...clothes in the dark
but city slicker I got big time news for you

Big city clown
I'm gonna put you down
you're nothing but a gigolo
you think I'm not in the know

but I've got news for you
you'll never break my heart in two
Big city guy
you'll never make me cry
Big city guy
I'm gonna pass you by

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.
