Verse 1:
Just a young girl living in the city
Fresh on her own so her money goes quickly
She's hoping that she'll make a move
Based on the fact that she's beautiful
If I went out I took her with me
Introduced her to all the cats
That rolled with me
She came across a micracle someone with a heart of gold
I had my best interest in her

Chorus:
But she didn't take my advice, my advice
She didn't take my advice
The city of dreams are all that they seem
She didn't take my advice, my advice
She didn't take my advice
The city of dreams are all that they seem
She didn't take

Verse 2:
I went down her hand that took her straight to the top of her game
Now she's blinded by the flashing lights
And pressed by the superficial things (o-o-o)
She kept hanging with all the wrong guys
Messing with indecent men that she thought were alright
At the end of the day
She got caught up in the life and was left with a broken soul

Chours:
Cause she didn't take my advice, my advice
She didn't take my advice
The city of dreams are all that they seem
She didn't take my advice, my advice
She didn't take my advice
The city of dreams are all that they seem
She didn't take
O-o-o-h-h-h
