High-Rise-Ashford/Simpson

High-Rise - Ashford & Simpson I knew her well We suffered through the good and the bad times Believed above else She was mine But she said that it couldn't last forever Running across the bridge She said, no, boy, Oh, no,I won't be coming back again I've got better things to do I'm gonna miss you Chorus: She wants to live in a high-rise Way up on the east side A city in high society She wants to live in a high-rise Way up on the east side A city where she can forget about me I remember the moment She took me through it in the pouring rain Said there's something all the love in the world Ain't gonna change And as we ran for shelter under the oak tree She suddenly turned to me And said no, boy, Oh, no, we've pretended long enough Now the time is almost here I won't leave no tears Repeat Chorus Said she's got to find a way to get up there Said she hasn't really made it yet to you up there I won't be coming back again I've got better things to do I'm gonna miss you Repeat Chorus and fade
