New York

Well the paper got folded and I was down
Thought I had a new song
Turned out I was just getting fat enjoying steak by the lake

But can I truly be to blame I was having the time of my life
Waking up in some stranger's bed I knew I had to go

New York
Why do you have to be so beautiful
Why can't I rid myself of you
Promise me you'll never let me go

I'm not saying that I didn't like her
Yeah she was quite fine
But wait who you talking about I think I lost count

Every morning the question was where I'd spend the night
But now I finally realize I had to get home

To you
Why do you have to be so beautiful
Why can't I rid myself of you
Promise me you'll never let me go

New York
Why do you have to be so beautiful
Why can't I rid myself of you
Promise me you'll never let me go

Now it's time to get back to work
And lose the extra fat
But going back bends my track I'm telling you my lungs are black

What if you were in my shoes and could see what I have to lose
I truly never believed in God but I sure believed in you

New York
Why do you have to be so beautiful
Why can't I rid myself of you
Promise me you'll never let me go

New York
Why do you have to be so beautiful
Why can't I rid myself of you
Promise me you'll never let me go
