Bright lights, big city
Goin' to my baby's head
Bright lights, big city
Goin' to my baby's head

I tried to tell the woman
She don't believe a word I said

It's all right, pretty baby
Gonna need my help someday
Whoa, it's all right, pretty baby
Gonna need my help someday

Gonna wish you had listened
To some of those things I said

You got me runnin'
You got me hidin'
You got me run, hide, hide, run
Anywhere you let it roll, yeah, yeah, yeah
You got me doin' what you want me
Baby what you want me to do

I'm goin' up
I'm goin' down
I'm goin' up, down, down, up
Anywhere you let it roll, yeah, yeah, yeah
You got me doin' what you want me
Baby what you want me to do

Bright lights, big city
Goin' to my baby's head
Oh, bright lights, big city
Goin' to my baby's head

I tried to tell the woman
But she don't believe a word I said

Go ahead, pretty baby
Honey knock yourself out
Oh, go ahead, pretty baby
Honey gonna knock yourself out

I still love you baby
'Cause you don't know what it's all about

Those bright lights, yeah, in a big city
