Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Woke up in, woke up in New York City lying on the floor

Just outside of Marcy's, West 54

Well, you gonna know my name by the end of the night, yeah

You gonna know my name by the end of the night

[Chorus]

Well, bright lights, big city going to my head

Bright lights, big city going to my head

Bright lights, big city going to my head

I don't care, no, 'cause you don't care, no

[Verse 2]

Start off with the bottle, ended up with the bottle

Taking shots, waiting on tomorrow

Tryin' to fill up what's hollow

You gonna know my name

You gonna know my name

[Chorus]

Bright lights, big city going to my head

Bright lights, big city going to my head

Bright lights, big city going to my head

I don't care, no, 'cause you don't care, no

[Verse 3]

Get lost in the city tryna find myself

I went up a different person, came down somebody else

I know it ain't right, but it's all in my head

But I'm surprised that I'm still alive, I should be dead

[Chorus]

Bright lights, big city going to my head

Bright lights, big city going to my head

Bright lights, big city going to my head

I don't care, no, 'cause you don't care, no

[Bridge]

Well, you gonna know my name

You gonna know my name

You gonna know my name

Oh, you gonna know my name

[Outro]

Hey! You gonna know my name by the end of the night, well?
