Kansas City Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm going to Kansas City
Kansas City, here I come
Yes, I’m going to Kansas city
Kansas City, here I come
They got a crazy way of loving and I want to get me some
I was standing on the corner of 12th Street and Vine
Yes, standing on the corner of 12th Street and Vine
With my Kansas City woman and a bottle of Kansas City wine
Well, I might take a train, I might take a train
If I have to walk I'm going there just the same
I'm going to Kansas City
Kansas City, here I come
They got a crazy way of loving and I want to get me some
Oh yeah

[Verse 2]
Keep your hands off of her, don’t belong to you
Keep your hands off of her, don't belong to you
She's mine, all mine, no matter what she do
Well, I might take a plane, I might take a train
If I have to walk I'm going there just the same
I'm going to Kansas City
Kansas City, here I come
They got a crazy way of loving and I want to get me some
They got a crazy way of loving and I want to get me some
They got a crazy way of loving and I want to get me some

How to Format Lyrics:

  • 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 [?]
