My feelings for you are not new
But if you're not ready to be friends with me
I guess I'll get over you
It hurt, I'll be sure to say it
I think it was kind of cruel
The way that you had to break it
Mixed signals, that was our code
I'd dial you up and you would
Leave me on hold
I wonder if I'll ever get a clear answer from you
Until then I'm trying to get a better point of view
So while I'm waiting here
I'm thinking 'bout you dear
'Cause you're my Kansas City girl
My Kansas City girl
I wanted to hold your hand
But then you started to twirl around and around
While we were running 'round town
My laughter turned to frown because I couldn't keep up
Oh keep up, oh keep up, with the games that you played
Now I'm trying to move on and figuring out the way -ay -ay
Now I'm trying to move on and figuring out the way
I was the friend that made it convenient for you to hang with your interests
And finding out the details afterward I'd say that we are pretty different
'Cause I found out you knew how I felt about you
And yet you used me to get to him, oh how could that be coincidence
And there lies our difference, 'cause I would never do you like you did me
I was lost for words, but now I can say it so simply
'Cause you're my Kansas City girl
My Kansas City girl
I wanted to hold your hand
But then you started to twirl around and around
While we were running 'round town
My laughter turned to frown because I couldn't keep up
Oh keep up, oh keep up, with the games that you played
Now I'm trying to move on and figuring out the way -ay -ay
Now I'm trying to move on and figuring out the way
You don't have to be anything more than this
A reminder of that city I will miss
But you'll always be to me
Someone I like to see
But I can't keep running around, keep running around
'Cause you're my Kansas City girl
My Kansas City girl
I wanted to hold your hand
But then you started to twirl around and around
While we were running 'round town
My laughter turned to frown because I couldn't keep up
Oh keep up, oh keep up, with the games that you played
Now I'm trying to move on and figuring out the way -ay -ay
Now I'm trying to move on and figuring out the way
