New York, I Love You Lyrics

I left my light on

I think I've waited too long

But you're still sending me signs

There's so much that I lack that your city seems to have

Can't replicate its design

You call me each night to say you miss me but might stay a little bit longer

So I will wait for that call

I'll take you changed man and all

But will you still love the old me that you left behind

New York, I love you

But you're stealing my baby away

I guess if we're meant to be, he'll come on back to me

If not, he will stay

New York, you're so damn beautiful

I cannot compete

I'm just the girl down the street

I can't lie

I'll never shine the way you do

There's no one like you in this world that we share

So if he chooses you

I can't even cry because I'd choose you too

Decreasing of speech is a new language we speak

The city hears all your stories

I'm crippled and tired

Her city streets are desired

The avenues bask in the glory

And if he catches me praying, I hope God takes what I'm saying and shuts me down

Because there's nothing to say

The city wants you to stay

So I won't get in your way

'Cause I know

That if you come home, it's only me that you'll blame

And I can't live with that shame

New York, I love you

But you're stealing my baby away

I guess if we're meant to be, he'll come on back to me

If not, he will stay

New York, you're so damn beautiful

I cannot compete

I'm just the girl down the street

I can't lie

I'll never shine the way you do

There's no one like you in this world that we share

So if he chooses you

I can't even cry because I'd choose you too

And I make my bed

I'll let you go

But that's on me

I let you go
