If This City Were a Man Lyrics

If this city were a man

All my friends would keep on telling me to leave him

It's like this city is my man

And every time he swears he'll change I go believe him

Gives me enough

But oh it's tough

Cos every time I make the threat

That it's over

I'm a rover

On the 401 you bet

But I keep hoping things will change

Cos this city is the best

But sometimes what you love the most

Is what is making you depressed

If this city were a man

My whole family would stage an intervention

It's like this city is my man

I make excuses like he's got the best intentions

Telling everybody

You don't understand

He's something special

And one day you'll see

He'll go and live up to his full potential

If I leave and I come back then I'm a failure

I was made here

Put my faith here

Thought that it could be my saviour

But every step I try to take

Seems there's a detour in the way

And suddenly a year's gone by

And everything has stayed the same

If this city were a man

Our relationship would have to become open

Cos this city can't fulfill me

Cannot thrill me

Like it used to

Like I'm hopin'

All the pills and all the alcohol

Aren't working anymore

Just remind

I left behind

All of my best years

That's the score

If this city were a man

I'd leave him, say I need to grow

If this city were a man

Damn

We'd have broke up long ago
