I do believe, I must believe
I think I can begin again
Become again the man I was back when
So I'm walking on your streets again
Feeling now as I did then
I've since become a different man
London Town, turn me around
London Town, carry me back
Oh, London Town, lost and found
And I feel like going back
I can remember lots of time and space
If I lose the name, still I know the faces
Time has come and left its traces
London Town, turn me around
London Town, carry me back
Oh, London Town, lost and found
And I feel like going back
When I've grown too old and dull to rock and roll
Like to hold on tight to you, darling
And when my fires have all burned out
I'd like to think I can still think about
The things I used to sing about
When I was spending all my time alone
By myself and on my own
Seldom seen and quite unknown
London Town, turn me around
Oh, London Town, carry me back
Oh, London Town, lost and found
And I feel like going back
Yes I feel like going back
Oh oh oh whoa
Oh oh oh whoa
