Maybe I should wander
|
Through these streets a little longer
|
Hey New York City
|
Won't you welcome me back home?
|
And darling I love you
|
But I swear that I'll be gone
|
By the time you figure out what you want
|
|
Maybe I should wander
|
Through my solitude a little longer
|
Turn your head now sailor
|
Well I used to be so much stronger
|
How in the hell did I get here?
|
In this city so alone
|
Oh sometimes life seems so long
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
You can't soothe me with your sweet voice
|
If I can't be your first choice
|
You can't soothe me with your deep eyes
|
If I can't be your first prize
|
You can't soothe me with affection
|
If it's pointed in the wrong direction
|
Unless you think I'm perfection
|
Unless you think I'm perfection
|
|
Maybe I should wander
|
Through these streets a little longer
|
Find my ruthless angel
|
That will carry me back home
|
Cause we all wanna go home
|
And we search for love our whole lives
|
I found a man who only wants to be alone
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
Maybe down the road who knows?
|
You'll get it together
|
With all your charm my hope grows
|
It's wonderful
|
But you're flirting only as a friend
|
You touch my heart
|
And promise everything
|
|
It'll be a mighty cold winter
|
Five million people
|
Couldn't one of them be you?
|
And darling I love you
|
But I swear that I'll be gone
|
By the time you figure out
|
What you want
|
|
[Chorus]
|
