[Verse 1]
And now we're all here, we've moved to New York
We've found a nice little rental near a sweet little school
Now I'm looking at houses with four or five floors
And you've found us a brownstone, said "You want it? It's yours"
[Refrain]
So we went ahead and we bought it
Found ourselves a good mortgage
Billy Cotton got sorted
All the furniture ordered
I could never afford this
You were pushing it forward
Made me feel a bit awkward
Made me feel a bit awkward
[Verse 2]
I walk up the stoop, I put the key in thе door
And then my phone started ringing so I answеred the call
And they were like "Hey, you've got a lead in a play
You've gotta be back in London for rehearsals in May"
And then later that evening you said how was my day
I said "I got some good news, I got the lead in a play"
That's when your demeanour started to change
You said that I'd have to audition, I said "You're deranged"
[Bridge]
And I thought
I thought that that was quite strange (I found that strange)
And I thought
I thought that that was quite strange (So very strange)
[Refrain]
But I ignored it
Went ahead and I bought it
Got a flight and I boarded
I'm on my way
[Chorus]
Now I'm in London, I'm on my own
I'm in a hotel room, I'm on my own
Now I'm in London and I'm all alone
I'm in a hotel room, I'm all on my own
Now I'm a West End girl
Now I'm a West End girl
Now I'm a West End girl
A West End girl
[Spoken Outro]
Hi, how are you? I miss you
Yeah
Huh?
Yeah
Right
Um
Okay
Well
I mean, it doesn't make me feel great
Well, if that's what you need to do, then
I guess
Well, how, how will it work?
Where—, right
I mean it makes me really sad but
Mm-hm
Mm-hm
No, I'm, I'm fine, I'm fine, I just, I want, I want you to be happy
Okay
Okay, I'll speak to you later
I love you
Bye
