42nd Street — текст песни (Billy Squier)

Keep the faith child, whatcha say to me
Ah, let me tell ya what those pretty eyes can`t see
You`re carousin` over London town
You got some cheshire cats chasin` you around
Me, I`m sittin` on my window seat
I watch the ladies down on 42nd street

I`m a man of reputation
I would never steal your pride
I`m a man of obligation
I don`t need to hide

I`m sore for drinkin`, oh its been so long
My nights seem endless and I`m really not that strong
And I can see you, have you in my sleep
But nightmares from the bottle, they ain`t hardly fit to keep, no

In my trials and tribulations
I have never been in doubt
I don`t feign intimidation
I can`t do without

So now I`m sittin`, wearin` through my pants
Too much sufferin` and not enough romance
Now I`m hangin` from my window seat
Drool on the ladies down on 42nd street

I`m a man of reputation
I would never make you pay
I`m in need of some relations
Just can`t stand another day
I`m a man of consternation
I can`t stand to be alone
I`m a victim of temptation
You best not leave me on my own
You just might be sorry honey
