New York City spread herself before you
|
With her bangles and her spangles and her stars
|
You were impressed with the city so undressed
|
You had to go out cruising all the bars
|
|
Your business trip extended through the weekend
|
Suburban boy here for your first time
|
From the 27th floor above the midtown roar
|
You were dazzled by her beauty and her crime
|
|
And she's every girl you've seen in every movie
|
Every dame you've ever known on late night TV
|
In her steam and steel is the passion you feel
|
Endlessly
|
New York is a woman she'll make you cry
|
And to her you're just another guy
|
|
Look down and see her ruined places
|
Smoke and ash still rising to the sky
|
She's happy that you're here but when you disappear
|
She won't know that you're gone to say goodbye
|
|
And she's every girl you've seen in every movie
|
Every dame you've ever known on late night tv
|
In her steam and steel is the passion you feel
|
Desperately
|
New York is a woman she'll make you cry
|
And to her you're just another guy
|
