No sun will shine in my day today; (no sun will shine)
the high yellow moon won't come out to play
(that high yellow moon won't come out to play)
i said (darkness) darkness has covered my light,
(and the stage) and the stage my day into night, yeah
where is the love to be found? (oo-ooh-ooh)
won't someone tell me?
'cause my (sweet life) life must be somewhere to be found
(must be somewhere for me)
instead of concrete jungle (la la-la!),
where the living is harder (la-la!).
Concrete jungle (la la-la!)
man you got to do your (la la-la!) best.
wo-ooh, yeah
no chains around my feet,
but i'm not free, oh-ooh!
i know i am bound here in captivity
g'yeah, now - (never, never) i've never known happiness
(never, never) i've never known what sweet caress is
still, i'll be always laughing like a clown;
won't someone help me? 'cause i (sweet life)
i've got to pick myself from off the ground
(must be somewhere for me), he-yeah!
in this a concrete jungle (la la-la!):
i said, what do you cry for me (la-la!) now, o-oh!
concrete jungle (la la-la!), ah,
won't you let me be (la la-la!), now.
hey! oh, now!

i said that life (sweet life)
it must be somewhere to be found
(must be somewhere for me)
oh, instead: concrete jungle (la-la!)
collusion (la-la!) -
confusion (confusion). eh!
Concrete jungle (la-la!) baby, you've got it in
concrete jungle (la la-la!), now. eh!
concrete jungle (la la-la!)
What do you stand(?) for me (la-la!), now?
