[Verse 1]
I remember you
well in the C

You were talki
ng so brave an

on the unmade
bed
While the limo
usines wait in
the street
Those were the
reasons and t
hat was New Yo

We were runnin

And that was c
alled love for
the workers i

Probably still
is for those
of them left
[Chorus]
Ah, but you go

you babe?
You just turne
d your back on
the crowd
You got away,
I never once h
eard you say
"I need you, I
don't need yo

I need you, I
don't need you
"
And all of tha

You were famou
s, your heart
was a legend
You told me ag
ain you prefer

But for me you
would make an
exception
And clenching
your fist for
the ones like

Who are oppres

You fixed your
self, you said
: "Well, never
mind
We are ugly, b
ut we have the
music"
[Chorus]
And then you g
ot away, didn'
t you baby?
You just turne
d your back on
the crowd
You got away,
I never once h
eard you say
"I need you, I
don't need yo

I need you, I
don't need you
