I listen to you time and time again While you tell me just what's right And you tell me a thousand things a day Then sleep somewhere else in the night I'm going back to Kansas City And I love you dear And just how long Can I keep singing the same old song? And I love you dear And just how long Can I keep singing this same old song? I'm going back to Kansas City And he called me to come Then I do Then you say you've made some mistake You invite me into your house Then you say got to pay for what you drink Going back to Kansas City And I love you dear But just how long Can I keep singing this same old song? And I love you dear But just how long Can I keep singing this same old song? Going back to Kansas City Just you want to know every place I go Even a thousand miles away from home And you don't care if I'm asleep or I'm awake This fickle heart just turned to stone Going back to Kansas City And I love you dear But just how long Can I keep singing this same old song? And I love you dear But just how long Can I keep singing this same old song? I'm going back to Kansas City And I love yo udear But just how long Can I keep singing this same old song? And I love you dear But just how long Can I keep singing this same old song? Going back to Kansas City (end)
