Philadelphia Lyrics

[Chorus]
Sometimes I think that I know
What love's all about
And when I see the light
I know I'll be all right

[Verse 1]
I've got my friends in the world
I had my friends
When we were boys and girls
And the secrets came unfurled

[Verse 2]
City of brotherly love
Place I call home
Don't turn your back on me
I don't want to be alone
Love lasts forever
Someone is talking to me
Calling my name
Tell me I'm not to blame
I won't be ashamed of love
Philadelphia
City of brotherly love
Brotherly love
See Neil Young Live
Get tickets as low as $46
[Chorus]
Sometimes I think that I know
What love's all about
And when I see the light
I know I'll be all right

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
