New York surprise me
21 and I need something
To pick me up out of
The company I run with
And Emily just phoned for me to smoke with her
And on her furniture
Discuss how love has been
I must admit I think I lost my way a bit
'Cause six days in I swear I lost my baby
But then I wrote two tunes that
The kind that dragged me out from nowhere
And paid for all my cigarettes
And whatever I took to keep you off my mind
New York surprise me
22 and I need something
To keep me inside of
The company I run with
And Emily just phoned for me to smoke with her
And on her furniture
Discuss how love has been
(Yeah, discuss how love has been)
I must admit I've been known to lose my way a bit
'Cause six days in is where I lost my patience
But then I wrote two tunes that
The kind that dragged me out from nowhere
And paid for all my cigarettes
And whatever I took to keep you off my mind

And paid for all my cigarettes
And whatever I took to keep you off my mind
