Big City Rock Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She said I want to go away now
Took her home where she wanted to be
She's gonna be with me tomorrow
Everyone needs to sleep
Everyone needs to dream to feel alive
Everyone takes a chance every time they open their eyes
They won't mind if you don't hurt them
They won't mind if you don't hurt them
They won't mind if you don't hurt them
You don't hurt them no
Asked that girl what she wanted to be
She said I want to be alone now
Walked away when I wanted to stay
Now I'm getting what I paid for
Some people say I'll never make it man I'm wasting my time
Some people say that I'm a winner and I'm next in line
They won't mind if you don't hurt them
They won't mind if you don't hurt them
They won't mind if you don't hurt them
You don't hurt them no
Every time you give them something
You get something in return
They won't mind if you don't hurt them
You don't hurt them no
Every one needs to sleep
Everyone needs to dream to feel alive
Everyone takes a chance
Every time they open their eyes
They won't mind if you don't hurt them
They won't mind if you don't hurt them
They won't mind if you don't hurt them
You don't hurt them no
Every time you give them something
You get something in return
Every time you try to please them
Realize that you don't need them
They won't mind
They won't mind
They won't mind
