[Verse 1]
I put my makeup on and
Head for the other side of town
In my dress from the night before
Fearing the comedown
Outside a sea of people forming
Walking off to work this morning
They look right through me as I'm passing by
Not even so much as an evil eye

[Pre-Chorus]
The city speaks to you (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
So much to live for, so much to lose (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
The end is coming, beginning is near (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
Anything you look for, you'll find it here (Ooh-ooh-ooh)

[Chorus]
I fell in love in a foreign place
I could stay forever
It's my time
It's now or never

[Verse 2]
I've been so many places
Nowhere could ever tie me down
All I ever wanted was so much more
Than life in a small town
I find it hard to hide my feelings
Looking up to ancient buildings
Looking down on me, towering above
Time was standing still as we fell in love
[Pre-Chorus]
The city speaks to you (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
So much to live for, so much to lose (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
The end is coming, beginning is near (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
Anything you look for, you'll find it here (Ooh-ooh-ooh)

[Chorus]
I fell in love in a foreign place
I could stay forever
It's my time
It's now or never
I fall in love as the world was ending
Not getting any younger
I feel life taking over

[Bridge]
So much to live for
So much to lose
So much to live for
So much to lose
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)

[Verse 3]
I've been so many places
Nowhere could ever tie me down
All I ever wanted was so much more
Than life in a small town (Small town)
[Chorus]
I fell in love in a foreign place (Ooh)
I could stay forever (Ooh)
It's my time
It's now or never (Ooh)
I fall in love as the world was ending (Ooh)
Not getting any younger
I feel life taking over (Ooh)
