[Chorus]
But I'm back now, baby

That's where we'll find our happy ending

I don't need charity
No need to be so condescending
[Chorus]
I've been missing you, baby
Let's go to Chinatown
That's where we'll find our happy ending
If you won't take me back, baby
I'm going to Chinatown
I'm gonna get my happy ending
