I'm in love with the city
I'm in love with the boy
Gotta put it on record
Gotta write a new song
There ain't no way around it
He's in love with another girl

I'm a wreck, I'll admit it
I can't eat when he's near
And I'm so tired and nervous
That you better stay clear
Leave me to the company
Of me if I can't have him

I'm trying to be tender
I'm trying to be cool
I laugh at my own jokes
I laugh like a fool
There ain't no doubt about it
He's in with his life-long girl

What chance do I have
A cat's chance in hell
I better take it

I'm going to write him a letter
Gonna put it in words
Gonna make it official
Gonna make it absurd
Hold up then, there a second, girl
You'll spoil what you have to do

They're a sweet loving couple
How could you come between
All the talk and the tenderness
The love and the feeling
His eyes start to sparkle
Sparks for the other girl

I'm in love with his face
I'm in love with his eyes
I could eat them for breakfast
Boy, would he be surprised
If he knew how I felt
It would spoil any chance I had

What chance is that
It's a cat's chance in hell
I better take it

What chance is that
It's a cat's chance in hell
I better take it
