A far cry

He was born in New York

On a subway train

Raised up in poverty

(Hell) Don't even have a name

He looks up while he's singing for a quarter

At the girl in a limousine

Reaching out just to touch her

She looks down laughing at him

Waiting waiting every morning

Hoping things are going to change

He can hear her say

All that I've got, all that you're not

You're a far cry from love

All that I see, always you'll be

Such a far cry from love

Rich man makes him an offer

Perfect to a poor boys dream

You want the girl, you want the power

Here's a way to be just like me

Sell this crack from off the corner

Fate is waiting here for you, then he says

All that I've got, all that you're not

You're a far cry from love

All that I see, always you'll be

Such a far cry from love

Open your eyes don't you realize you're a far cry from love

So impressed with the name you're making

See the neon shine,

Now she's shooting up the love she's faking

Don't you know it's not to late to change your life

All that you've got, maybe you're not

Such a far cry from love

All that you've seen, never you'll be

Such a far cry from love

Take your best shot, know that you're not

Take it from me baby I've been

Such a far cry from love
