The Fratellis is an alternative rock band from Glasgow, Scotland who took their name from the villains in the film "The Goonies" (although, by coincidence, Barry's mother's maiden name is in fact Fratelli). The band consisted of lead vocalist and guitarist Jon Fratelli (real name John Lawler), bass guitarist Barry Fratelli (real name Barry Wallace), and drummer, backing vocalist, occasional guitarist and banjo player Mince Fratelli (real name Gordon McRory).

E Well, it's a big big city and it's always the same G#m Can never be too pretty, tell me your name GF#mB Is it out of line if I were so bold to say "Would you be mine"?
E Because I may be a beggar and you may be the queen G#m I know I may be on a downer, am still ready to dream GF#mB Now it's 3 o'clock time it takes for you to talk
[Chorus]
EG#m So if you're lonely why'd you say you're not lonely GF#m Oh, you're a silly girl, I know I hurt it so B It's just like you to come and go EG#m you know me no, you don't even know me GF#m You're so sweet to try, oh my, you caught my eye B A girl like you's just irresistible

E Well, it's a big big city and the lights are all out G#m But it's much as I can do you know to figure you out GF#m And I must confess, my heart's in broken pieces B And my head's a mess E And it's 4 in the morning, and I'm walking along G#m Beside the ghost of every drinker here who has ever done wrong GF#m And it's you, woo hoo B That's got me going crazy for the things you do
[Chorus]
EG#m So if you're crazy I don't care, you amaze me GF#m Oh, you're a stupid girl, oh me, oh my, you talk B I die, you smile, you laugh, I cry EG#m And only, a girl like you could be lonely GF#m And it's a crying shame, if you would think the same B A boy like me's just irresistible
