New York

The days were long and the night so cold
The pages turn and the tale unfolds
He left me for another lady

She stood so tall and she never slept
There was not one moment he could regret
He left me for another lady

He took my hand one day and told me
He was leaving
Me disbelieving
And I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I
Had to let him go

CHORUS:
Her name was New York
New York and she
Took his heart away from mine
Her name was New York,
New York
She had poisoned his sweet mind

The wolves they howl
For my lost soul
I fell down
A deep black hole
He’d left me for another lady
She poured the drinks
And she poured the power
Diamond girl
Who could talk for hours
He’d left me for another lady

Now I am on my own
He told me
He was leaving
And I was pleading
And I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I
Had to let him go

CHORUS

The greatest times
I don’t want to hear it
Your new life tonight
I don’t want to hear it
The newfound friends
She introduced you to
I don’t want to know them
I just want to be with you
Please don’t make me go to
New York

New York
She took your heart away from mine
Her name was New York
New York
She poisoned your sweet mind
She poisoned your sweet mind
