N.Y. Lady

That girl is danger with a capital D
And she's no stranger, but no stranger than me
You see the way she walks and talks
It's almost like she knows
That people want her for just one thing
And that does not involve her clothes

Flashy cars and movie stars
Dance clubs and martini bars
Taking pills that send her out to Mars
She's my New York lady

All the respect that you get
From people you haven't met
Doing things you'll soon regret
New York lady
People look up to you
No matter what it is you do
Always reading something new about my lady

When she shows up
The party turns on
Keeps a hundred dollar bill in her pocket
For when the snowstorm comes
If you try to get any closer
You'd just be turned away
You can only get that number if you're ready to pay

Looking good with a flash bulb tan
Strike a pose with your new man
Front and center at the newsstand
She's my New York Lady

All the respect that you get
From people you haven't met
Doing things you'll soon regret
New York lady
People look up to you
No matter what it is you do
Always reading something new 'bout my lady

That girl is danger to the tenth degree
And she's no stranger, but no stranger than me
Shopping free with daddy's credit cards
Private entertaining bodyguards
Paid title and armored cars
That's my New York lady

All the respect that you get
From people you haven't met
Doing things you'll soon regret
New York lady
People look up to you
No matter what it is you do
Always reading something new 'bout my lady

It is the meaning of church
With all the pictures of dirt
As long as no one gets hurt, see my lady
You'll never catch anything
'Cause you fall back on your name
I guess you think life's a game
New York lady
