I'm tired, so tired, I can hardly stand

I can't breathe in the air in this city tonight

It's taken everything I had to give

And now I just wanna get out of here

But I won't be sorry if you won't be

And I don't want your pity or your sympathy

But for forty-five dollars I can make it

You wait and see

But I won't be sorry if you won't be

And I don't want your pity or your sympathy

But for forty-five dollars I can make it

You wait and see

It's not as if I was just anybody

On Broadway I danced for that Senator

They know me in London and they know me in Paris

I'm only talkin' 'cause you looked like you needed a friend

And I won't be sorry if you won't be

And I don't want your pity or your sympathy

But with forty-five dollars

I'm half-way to Miami
