Going to the city, got you on my mind,
Country sure is pretty, I'll leave it all behind,
This is my decision, I'm coming home to stay this time
'Cause I'm a fool for the city, I'm a fool for the city,
Fool for the city, I'm a fool for the city
I need you
Like the flower needs the rain
You know, i need you
Guess i'll start it all again
You know, i need you
Like the winter needs the spring
You know i need you
I need you
It's good to see you baby it's been a long, long while
We're both a whole lot older and seen a lot of miles
But thing are different now since the good old days
And you've been in some trouble
Since we went our separate ways
Well have to say hello maybe some other time instead
'Cause you're wanted by the police
And my wife thinks you're dead
I heard you on my wireless back in '52
Lying awake, intent at tuning in on you
If I was young, it didn't stop you coming through
Oh-a, oh-a
They took the credit for your second symphony
Rewritten by machine and new technology
And now I understand the problems you can see
Oh-a oh-a
I met your children
Oh-a oh-a
What did you tell them?
Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star
Pictures came and broke your heart
Oh-a-a-a oh
