Leaving This Town Songtext
von Barbara Dex

There′s nothing you can say to make me change my mind
This elevator sure is taking its time
And now it's got to stop so here we are
Between the first and second floor
Well you′re out of luck because I'm not talking to you anymore

I'm leaving this town
I don′t want to hang around
Where the people live in towers
And the trains run underground
I′m leaving this town
Ever since you let me down
I've been dreaming of leaving this town
I′m leaving this town

Big city life was bad for you right from the start
Where all the buildings scrape the sky
And in my heart I know I did you wrong
And I'm so sorry baby but that was yesterday

How could I have known the day would come
When I would hear you say


I′m leaving this town
I don't want to hang around
Where the traffic′s blocked for hours
And the true love can't be found
I'm leaving this town
Ever since you let me down
I′ve been dreaming of leaving this town

You′re leaving this town
I'm leaving this town
Well I don′t want you to

In a great big yellow cab
I'm never ever coming back
I′m sick of all the cars and all the bars
And the people passing by
And the only stars I want to see
Are hanging in the sky

Now seriously darling, let's talk
Why? You got nothing to say
Well, if you leave I′ll surely die
So?
So, what about our plans we made yesterday?
The plans you made, hey man you're history
Hey, how about the time in green?
Forget it, I'm leaving
No


I′m leaving this town
You′re not leaving this town
Don't want to hang around
I want you to hang around with me baby
Ever since you let me down
I won′t let you down baby
Leaving this town

Leave, leave, leave, leave, leave, leave, leave, leaving
Leaving this town
You're leaving this town
I′m leaving this town

You're leaving this town
I′m leaving this town

No baby, stay with me, stay with me baby
Yes, yes baby
Please, please, I'm begging
I'm begging on my knees
Oh can′t you see, can′t you see baby
I'm dying
