[00:14.490]To think that a man as famous as you are
[00:17.490]Could love a poor little nothing like me
[00:21.490]I wanna be a part of B.A. Buenos Aires, Big Apple
[00:26.490](Eva's family:)She wants to be a part of B.A. Buenos Aires, Big Apple
[00:33.490]Just listen to that, they're on to you Magaldi
[00:37.490]I'd get out while you can
[00:40.000]It's happened at last, I'm starting to get started
[00:42.490]I'm moving out with my man
[00:44.000]Now Eva don't get carried away
[00:47.000]Monotony past, suburbia departed
[00:51.000]Who could ever be fond of the back of beyond?
[00:54.000]Don't hear words that I didn't say
[00:57.000]What's that? You'd desert the girl you love?
[01:01.000]The girl I love? What are you talking about?
[01:05.000]She really brightened up your out-of-town engagement
[01:12.000]She gave you all she had, she wasn't in your contract
[01:18.000]You must be quite relieved that noone's told the papers, so far
[01:25.000]I wanna be a part of B.A. Buenos Aires, Big Apple
[01:33.000]Would I have done what I did
[01:38.000]If I hadn't thought, if I hadn't known
[01:44.000]We would stay together
[02:07.000]Seems to me there's no point in resisting
[02:11.000]She's made up her mind, you've no choice
[02:14.000]Why don't you be the man who discovered her
[02:17.000]You'll never be remembered for your voice
[02:20.000]The city can be paradise for those who have the cash
[02:27.000]The class and the connections, what you need to make a splash
[02:33.000]The likes of you get swept up in the morning with the trash
[02:39.000]If you were rich or middle class ...
[02:43.000]Screw the middle classes! I will never accept them!
[02:47.000]My father's other family were middle class
[02:51.000]And we were kept out of sight, hidden from view at his funeral.
[02:57.000]Do all your one night stands give you this trouble?
[03:04.000]Eva beware of the city
[03:07.000]It's hungry and cold, can't be controlled, it is mad
[03:14.000]Those who are fools are swallowed up whole
[03:18.000]And those who are not become what they should not become
[03:22.000]Changed, in short, they go bad.
[03:24.000]Bad is good for me
[03:25.000]I'm bored, so clean, and so ignored
[03:28.000]I've only been predictable, respectable
[03:32.000]Birds fly out of here, so why oh why oh why the hell can't I?
[03:36.000]I only want variety, of society
[03:38.000]I wanna be a part of B.A. Buenos Aires, Big Apple
[03:45.000](Eva's family:) She wants to be a part of B.A. Buenos Aires, Big Apple
[03:50.000]Five years from now I shall come back
[03:53.000]And finally say, "You have your way, come to town."
[03:59.000]But you'll look at me with a foreigner's eyes
[04:03.000]The magical city, a younger girl's city
[04:07.000]A fantasy long since put down
[04:09.000]All you've done to me, was that a young girl's fantasy?
[04:13.000]I played your city games alright, didn't I?
[04:16.000]I already know what cooks, how the dirty city feels and looks
[04:21.000]I tasted it last night, didn't I?
[04:23.000]I'm gonna be a part of B.A. Buenos Aires, Big Apple
[04:29.000]She's gonna be a part of B.A. Buenos Aires, Big Apple
[04:34.000]Eva beware your ambition
[04:37.000]It's hungry and cold, can't be controlled, will run wild
[04:44.000]This in a man is danger enough, but you are a woman
[04:50.000]Not even a woman, not very much more than a child
[04:54.000]And whatever you say, I'll not steal you away
