[Verse 1]
What kind of song would you give
If you had a song to give?
What kind of life would you live
If you had a life to live?
Would you wanna make something good
That you could look on?
Give you lots of pleasure, yeah you would

[Verse 2]
What about this thing that you gave?
What if it weren't quite perfect?
(What about if it was something bad about it?)
Would you love it just the same?
Would you still care about it?

[Chorus]
The lights on the city
Look so good
Almost like somebody
Thought they would
Thought they would

[Verse 3]
What kind of song would you sing
If you had a song to sing?
What kind of life would you live
If you had a life to live?
Would you wanna make something good
That you could look on?
Give you lots of pleasure, yeah you would
[Chorus]
The lights on the city
Look so good
Almost like somebody
Thought they would
Thought they would

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 2]
What about this thing that you gave?
What if it weren't quite perfect?
(What about if it was something bad about it?)
Would you love it just the same?
Would you still care about it?

[Chorus]
The lights on the city
Look so good
Almost like somebody
Thought they would
The lights on the city
Look so good
Almost like somebody
Thought they would
Thought they would
