This Manhattan Man Songtext
von The Altogether

This Manhattan man
Says I miss Manhattan, man
And if you don′t understand, that's fine with me

But if I could see Manhattan, man
I′d scream Manhattan, man
If I could do it all again, I'd do it here
Before you laid me down to rest, I'd do it all here

I heard someone say
The problem with people today
Is they don′t allow themselves mistakes

But you must not forget
The source of most regret
Is chances you never chose to take
What better place to make mistakes
Than an island already filled with heartbreaks?


Tell me once again about
The dreams you had when we were kids
Tonight might be my night to reminisce
Everyone around is in a rush just to be found
Without ever getting lost

Soon it will be fall
And once I hear you call
I′ll play that Billie Holiday

But the moment couldn't last
The song goes by so fast
And you′ll be back in school again
Just leave me in this perfect town
Don't even turn your head around
Just leave me in this perfect town
To stay

And tell me once again about
The dreams you had when we were kids
Tonight might be my night to reminisce
Everyone around is in a rush just to be found
Without ever getting lost


Tell me once again about
The dreams you had when we were kids
Tonight might be my night to reminisce
Everyone around is in a rush just to be found
Without ever getting lost
