You Had to Be There
You can say I'm lazy, slowly goin' crazy
Longin' for a taste of New York air
But what's the since of talking, wastin' my breath
Cause I guess that you just had to be there
When all the candy was a nickel, people weren't fickel
No one had a dime, but did they care
Talk about the good times, they were the best
But I guess that you just had to be there
A stick, a ball, a street was all we ever needed
And we were happy, happier then
So when I die I hope they say he overdosed on reminisin'
NYC is you I'm missin'
Give me a New Yorker, any old New Yorker
Bet we got a million songs to share
Laughin' on the outside, slightly depressed
Cause you know I'll like to be there, guess you had to be there
If I could only be there now.
A stick, a ball, a street was all we ever needed
And we were happy, happier then
So when I die I hope they say he overdosed on reminesin'
NYC is you I'm missin'
Give me a New Yorker, any old New Yorker
I'll Bet we got a million songs to share
Laughin' on the outside, slightly depressed
Cause you know I'll like to be there, guess you had to be there
If I could only be there now.
Longin' for a taste of New York air
But what's the since of talking, wastin' my breath
Cause I guess that you just had to be there
When all the candy was a nickel, people weren't fickel
No one had a dime, but did they care
Talk about the good times, they were the best
But I guess that you just had to be there
A stick, a ball, a street was all we ever needed
And we were happy, happier then
So when I die I hope they say he overdosed on reminisin'
NYC is you I'm missin'
Give me a New Yorker, any old New Yorker
Bet we got a million songs to share
Laughin' on the outside, slightly depressed
Cause you know I'll like to be there, guess you had to be there
If I could only be there now.
A stick, a ball, a street was all we ever needed
And we were happy, happier then
So when I die I hope they say he overdosed on reminesin'
NYC is you I'm missin'
Give me a New Yorker, any old New Yorker
I'll Bet we got a million songs to share
Laughin' on the outside, slightly depressed
Cause you know I'll like to be there, guess you had to be there
If I could only be there now.
