High-rise

I knew her well

We suffered through the good and the bad times

Believed above else

She was mine

But she said that it couldn't last forever

Runnin' 'cross the bridge she said

No, boy, oh, no

I won't be comin' back again

I've got better things to do

I'm gonna miss you, oh

She wanna live in a high-rise

Way up on the east side

A city, ho...

In high society (Ho, ho)

She wanna live in a high-rise

Way up on the east side

A city

Where she can forget about me, ooh

I remember the moment

She took me through it in the pourin' rain

Said there's somethin' all the love in the world

Ain't gon' change

And as we ran for shelter under the oak tree

She suddenly turned to me and said

No, boy, oh, no

We've pretended long enough

Now the time is almost here

I won't leave no tears (No), no tears

She wanna live in a high-rise

Way up on the east side

A city (Ho, yeah)

In high society (Oh, please don't go) (Ooh)

She wanna live in a high-rise

Way up on the east side

A city, hey

Where she can forget about me, ooh

Said she's got to find a way to get up there (Woo)

Said she hasn't really made it yet to you up there

I won't be comin' back again (Baby)

I've got better things to do (Please)

I'm gonna miss you, miss you, ooh (Oh)

She wanna live in a high-rise

Way up on the east side

A city (city) ho, yeah

High society (Oh, please don't go)

She wanna live in a high-rise

Way up on the east side

A city (city) ho, baby

Where she can forget about me (Oh, oh)

She wanna live in a high-rise

Way up on the east side
