West End Girl

And now we′re all here, we’ve moved to New York
We found a nice little rental near a sweet little school
Now I′m looking at houses with four or five floors
And you found us a brownstone, said, “You want it? It’s yours”
So we went ahead and we bought it
Found ourselves a good mortgage
Billy Cotton got sorted
All the furniture ordered
I could never afford this
You were pushing it forward
Made me feel a bit awkward
Made me feel a bit awkward
I walk up the stoop, I put the key in the door
And then my phone started ringing, so I answered the call
And they were like, “Hey, you got the lead in a play
You got to be back in London for rehearsals in May”
And later that evening you said, “How was my day?”
I said, “I got some good news, I got the lead in a play”
That’s when your demeanour started to change
You said I′d have to audition, I said, “You′re deranged”

And I thought
I thought that that was quite strange (I found that strange)
And I thought
I thought that that was quite strange (so very strange)

But I ignored it
Went ahead and I bought it
Got a flight and I boarded, I’m on my way
chorus
Now I′m in London
I’m on my own
I′m in a hotel room
I’m on my own
And now I′m in London
And I’m all alone
I’m in a hotel room
I′m all on my own
Now I′m a West End Girl
Now I’m a West End Girl
Now I′m a West End Girl
A West End Girl
