Whistle for the Choir - Eleanor McEvoy

Well it’s a big, big city and it’s always the same

Can never be too pretty, tell me your name

Is it out of line if I were simply bold and say «Would you be mine?»

Because I may be a beggar and you may be the queen

I know I may be on a downer, I’m still ready to dream

Though it’s three o’clock, the time is just the time it takes for you to talk

So if you’re lonely

Why’d you say you’re not lonely?

Oh you’re a silly girl, I know I heard it so

It’s just like you to come and go

And know me, no you don’t even know me

You’re so sweet to try, oh my, you caught my eye

A girl like you is just irresistible

Well it’s a big, big city and the lights are all out

But it’s as much as I can do you know to figure you out

And I must confess

My heart’s in broken pieces and my head’s a mess

And it’s 4 in the morning and I’m walking along

Beside the ghost of every drinker here who’s ever done wrong

And it’s you, woo-hoo, that’s got me going crazy for the things you do

So if you’re crazy, I don’t care, you amaze me

But you’re a stupid girl, oh me, oh my, you talk

I die, you smile, you laugh, I cry

And only, a girl like you could be lonely

And it’s a crying shame, if you would think the same

A boy like me is just irresistible

So if you’re lonely, why’d you say you’re not lonely

Oh you’re a silly girl, I know I heard it so

It’s just like you to come and go

And know me, no you don’t even know me

You’re so sweet to try, oh my, you caught my eye

A girl like you is just irresistible
