Kansas City Lyrics

I listen to you time and time again
While you tell me just what's right
And you tell me a thousand things a day
Then sleep somewhere's else at night
Going back to Kansas City

And I love you dear
But just how long can I keep singing the same old song?
And I love you dear
But just how long can I keep singing the same old song?
I'm going back to Kansas City

And you call me to come, then I do
And you say you made some mistake
You invite me into your house
And then you say you gotta pay for what you break
Going back to Kansas City

And I love you dear
But just how long can I keep singing the same old song?
And I love you dear
But just how long can I keep singing the same old song?
I'm going back to Kansas City

Gypsy woman, you know every place I go
Even a thousand miles away from home
And you don't care if I'm asleep or I'm awake
This fickle heart just turn to stone
Going back to Kansas City

And I love you dear
But just how long can I keep singing the same old song?
And I love you dear
But just how long can I keep singing the same old song?
I'm going back to Kansas City

And I love you dear
But just how long can I keep singing the same old song?
And I love you dear
But just how long can I keep singing the same old song?
Going back to Kansas City

What is the Meaning of Kansas City?

In the heart of a timeless melody, we find a soul torn between love and liberation. The protagonist is ensnared in a cycle of unfulfilled promises and restless nights, where devotion meets deception. Each verse paints a vivid picture of longing and disillusionment, as they grapple with the weight of an unreciprocated love. The refrain echoes their internal struggle—how long can one sing the same sorrowful tune before seeking solace elsewhere? Kansas City becomes more than just a destination; it symbolizes a return to self, a place where broken hearts mend and wandering spirits find peace. This poignant ballad captures the essence of letting go to reclaim one's own rhythm in the symphony of life.
