New York Lyrics

New York, you're bad to me

You spend my money and my energy

And change my plans without apology

When nothing's running express

New York, you don't treat me right

Cars and sirens keep me up each night

And that diamond studded pavement's a trick of the light

Ooh, you put my love to the test

I'm tied up like a pretzel

Trying to be what I'm not

You should make me feel special

But I'm just a drop in your pot

Someday I'll settle down

With some sweeter, cleaner, greener town

I won't mind having all that space around

But you'll be hard to forget

You should make me feel special

But these sorry-starry eyes are on every city block

Someday I'll settle down

With some sweeter, cleaner, greener town

And I'll make my waves while all your new lovers drown

And the train keeps running and the world spins round

But something will be missing it's true

Oh New York there's no getting over you

Oh New York there's no getting over you
