And now we're all here
We've moved to New York
We found a nice little rental
Near a sweet little school
Now I'm looking at houses
With four or five floors
And you found us a brownstone
Said, "You want it? It's yours"
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
I walk up the stoop
I put the key in the door
And then my phone started ringing
So I answered the call
And they were like, "Hey, you got the lead in a play
You've got to be back in London for rehearsals in May"
And 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 I'd have to audition
I said, "You're deranged"
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
But I ignored it
Went ahead and I bought it
Got a flight and I boarded
I'm on my way
Now I'm in London
I'm on my own
I'm in a hotel room
I'm on my own
And 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
Hi, how are you? I miss you
Yeah
Huh?
Yeah
Right
Um
Okay
Well
I mean, it doesn't make me feel great
Wellโ, if that's what you need to do, then
I guess
Well, how will it work?
Wellโ, right
I mean it makes me really sad but
Mhm-mhm
Mhm-mhm
No, I'm fine, I'm fine, I just, I want, I want you to be happy
Okay
Can I speak to you later?
I love you
Bye
