Ow, I meant ah No, I didn't mean that at all [Verse 1] Here in the streets of American nights Rise to the bottom of the meaning of life Studied all the rules didn't want no part But I let you in just to break this heart Even though it was only one night It was f**ing strange [Pre-Chorus] Nina's in the bedroom She said, "Time to go now" But leavin' it ain't easy I got to let go, I got to let go And the hours they ran slow I said, "Every night she just can't stop sayin'" [Chorus] "New York City cops New York City cops New York City cops But they ain't too smart" New York City cops New York City cops New York City cops But they ain't too smart [Verse 2] Well, k** me now cause I let you down I swear one day I'm gonna leave this town Stop! Yes I'm leavin', cause it just won't work And, they act like Romans, but they dress like Turks Sometime, in your prime See me, I like the summertime [Pre-Chorus] Nina's in the bedroom She said, "Time to go now" But leavin' it ain't easy I got to let go, I got to let go, oh Trapped in an apartment She would not let them get her She wrote it in a letter I got to come clean the authorities they've seen Darling, I'm somewhere in between I said, "Every night she just can't stop sayin' " [Chorus] New York City cops New York City cops New York City cops But they ain't too smart New York City cops New York City cops New York City cops But they ain't too smart
