Oh the city's alight with lovers and lies
Bright blue eyes
Oh the city is bright
It's brighter than day tonightSurrender, surrender
Surrender, surrenderSadie said she couldn't work out
What it was all about and so she let go
Now Sadie's on the street
And the people she meets you knowShe tried to be a good girl and a good wife
Raise a good family, lead a good life
It's not good enough
She got herself up on the forty eighth floor
Gotta find out, find out what she's living forSurrender, surrender
Surrender, surrenderTonight oh, the city's afire a passionate flame
It knows me by name oh, the city's desire
To take me for more and more, it's in the street
Getting under my feet, it's in the air, it's everywhere I look for youIt's in the things I do and say
If I wanna live I gotta
Die to myself somedayPapa sing my, sing my, sing my song
Papa sing my, sing my, sing my song
Papa sing my, sing my, sing my song
Papa sing my, sing my, sing my songSurrender, surrender
Surrender, surrender
