Dress it up, dress it down
As long as you are dressed in all black
In my city that's the only colour on the rack
Yeah my city covers dark hearts, all night long
Ride around, ride around
Sippin' something in the backseat
Tell the driver he better turn up this beat
I just wanna sing sing along, all night long
It could be much better
But then again it could be worse
Some love lasts forever
Some love is a one night thirst
We could stay in bed forever
But I think I should forget you first
Some love lasts forever
Sometimes we love till it hurts
Oh, no, wasting time
Staying inside dreaming bout that someone
Go, so, hard tonight
Sleepless in the city
All, your, stars align
So go outside and get
No one sleeps alone
When you're sleepless in the city
(sleepless)
Sleepless in the city
(sleepless)
Sleepless in the city
I'm a brat, I'm a flirt
Well if the shoe fits Imma wear it all night
Especially if it's a designer I like
Material girls and material worlds
I'm moving on moving up
Catch me window shopping for my next boyfriend
A brand new stud that shines on my skin
Diamonds and pearls cover up sad girls
It could be much better
But then again it could be worse
Some love lasts forever
Sometimes we love till it hurts
Oh, no, wasting time
Staying inside dreaming bout that someone
Go, so, hard tonight
Sleepless in the city
All, your, stars align
So go outside and get linked to the cyclone
No one sleeps alone
When you're sleepless in the city
(sleepless)
Sleepless in the city
(sleepless)
Sleepless in the city
(sleepless)
Sleepless in the city
(sleepless)
Sleepless in the city
Once a city kid, always a city kid
Young, sophisticated, already over it
I feel like we're 21
Act like we're the only ones
Born a city kid, I'll die a city kid
I was made in New York, city of oppurtunity
Hard play, hard work
There's no other home to me
We act like we're 21
We act like we're the only ones
We act like we're 21
Sick of what we have done, sick of everyone
Once a city kid, always a city kid
Young, sophisticated, already over it
Acting like we're 21
Act like we're the only ones
Born a city kid, I'll die a city kid
Riding out the rise and fall
Watching them lose it all
Shame we'll never get there too
Once a city kid, always a city kid
Young, sophisticated, already over it
Once a city kid, always a city kid
Young, sophisticated, already over it
Acting like we're 21
Act like we're the only ones
Born a city kid, I'll die a city kid
