New York, New York 


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 
Ro 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 
Everyday 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 won't 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
