Stuck in New York City Lyrics

We were on our way to John F. Kennedy

But we would miss our flight

Bought a ticket on the next departure

Seemed we'd be staying a few nights

I looked at you, you looked at me

Afraid of all we had to do

Up till then things had been so easy

Now our biggest nightmare was coming true

Still there's no one I'd rather be stuck with than you

Stuck in New York City

Stuck in New York City with you

What did I do to get so lucky

To be stuck in New York City with you

Took a self-guided tour of the neighborhood

Admiring graffiti like a gallery

Enjoyed a classical concert in the subway

Watched the man open fire hydrants, what a chaotic reality

Pinched our pennies, laughing over shared beer

Eight dollar slice pizza, he said, I love you more

That's all I needed to hear

I said, there's no one I'd rather be stuck with than you

Stuck in New York City

Stuck in New York City with you

What did I do to get so lucky

To be stuck in New York City with you

Felt so alone, in over my head

All the times stuck before

But with you anywhere feels like home

I've never been so sure

I've searched this world for so many things

Seen Sunrise Taj Mahal, the Eiffel Tower at night

Sure, it was special, but it doesn't make me spring

Like looking at you in the Brooklyn lights

And there's no one I'd rather be stuck with than you

Stuck in New York City

Stuck in New York City with you

What did I do to get so lucky

To be stuck in New York City with you
