If This City Were a Man

If this city were a man All my friends would keep on telling me to leave him It's like this city is my man And every time he swears he'll change I go believe him Gives me enough But oh it's tough Cos every time I make the threat That it's over I'm a rover On the 401 you bet But I keep hoping things will change Cos this city is the best But sometimes what you love the most Is what is making you depressed If this city were a man My whole family would stage an intervention It's like this city is my man I make excuses like he's got the best intentions Telling everybody You don't understand He's something special And one day you'll see He'll go and live up to his full potential If I leave and I come back then I'm a failure I was made here Put my faith here Thought that it could be my saviour But every step I try to take Seems there's a detour in the way And suddenly a year's gone by And everything has stayed the same If this city were a man Our relationship would have to become open Cos this city can't fulfill me Cannot thrill me Like it used to Like I'm hopin' All the pills and all the alcohol Aren't working anymore Just remind I left behind All of my best years That's the score If this city were a man I'd leave him, say I need to grow If this city were a man Damn We'd have broke up long ago
