New York New York Lyrics

New York New York lyrics

Well, I shuffled through the city on the 4th of July
I had a firecracker
waiting to blow
Breakin' like a rocket who was makin' its way
To the
cities of Mexico
Lived in an apartment out on Avenue A
I had a tar-hut on
the corner of 10th
Had myself a lover who was finer than gold
But I've
been broken up and busted up since

And love don't play any games with
me, anymore
Like she did before
The world won't wait, so I better
shake
That thing right out there through the door
Hell, I still love you,
New York

Found myself a picture that would fit in the folds
Of my
wallet and it stayed pretty good
Still amazed I didn't lose it on the roof
of the place
When I was drunk and I was thinking of you
Every day the
children they were singing their tunes
Out on the streets and you could hear
from inside
Used to take the subway up to Houston and 3rd
I would wait for
you and I'd try to hide

And love won't play any games with me,
anymore
If you don't want it to
The world won't wait and I watched you
shake
But honey, I don't blame you
Hell, I still love you, New
York

I remember Christmas in the blistering cold
In a church on the
upper west side
Babe, I stood there singing, I was holding your arm
You
were holding my trust like a child
Found a lot of trouble out on Avenue
B
But I tried to keep the overhead low
Farewell to the city and the love
of my life
At least we left before we had to go

And love won't play
any games with me, anymore
If you don't want 'em to
So we better shake
this old thing out the door
I'll always be thinkin' of you
