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
