Kansas City Lyrics

I listen to you time and time again, while you tell me just what's right
And you tell me a thousand things a day, then sleeps somewhere else at night
I'm going back to Kansas City

And I love you dear but just how long can I keep singing the same old song
And I love you dear but just how long can I keep singing the same old song
I'm going back to Kansas City

And you call me to come and then I do, then you say you made some mistake
You invite me into your house, then you say you gotta pay for what you break
I'm going back to Kansas City

And I love you dear but just how long can I keep singing the same old song
And I love you dear but just how long can I keep singing the same old song
I'm going back to Kansas City

And just you want to know every place I go, even a thousand miles away from home
You don't care if I'm asleep or I'm awake, this fickle heart just turned to stone
Going back to Kansas City

And I love you dear but just how long can I keep singing the same old song
And I love you dear but just how long can I keep singing the same old song
I'm going back to Kansas City
And I love you dear but just how long can I keep singing the same old song
And I love you dear but just how long can I keep singing the same old song
Going back to Kansas City

When I get my hands on you

I listen to you time and time again, while you tell me just what's right
And you tell me a thousand things a day, then sleeps somewhere else at night
I'm going back to Kansas City

And I love you dear but just how long can I keep singing the same old song
And I love you dear but just how long can I keep singing the same old song
I'm going back to Kansas City

And you call me to come and then I do, then you say you made some mistake
You invite me into your house, then you say you gotta pay for what you break
I'm going back to Kansas City

And I love you dear but just how long can I keep singing the same old song
And I love you dear but just how long can I keep singing the same old song
I'm going back to Kansas City

And just you want to know every place I go, even a thousand miles away from home
You don't care if I'm asleep or I'm awake, this fickle heart just turned to stone
Going back to Kansas City

And I love you dear but just how long can I keep singing the same old song
And I love you dear but just how long can I keep singing the same old song
I'm going back to Kansas City
And I love you dear but just how long can I keep singing the same old song
And I love you dear but just how long can I keep singing the same old song
Going back to Kansas City

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.
