Kooper New York City you're a woman Cold-hearted b**h ought to be your name Oh you ain't never loved nobody Yet I'm drawn to you like a moth to flame Oh I have s**led you in my sorrow And I have sinned with you in my shame But you ain't never even seen me New York City, I'm tryin' to beat your game Oh and I rise up, Lord, and I fall down It's all in the merit of my ways Don't you dare try & stop me now I am settled right here in your haze And I am stuck here now in the final phase Now don't you send me to the country Cause I ain't ready to concede I will tell you when I'm ready And I will call to you from down on my knees Oh I might be standing but I'll be down on my knees
New York City you're a woman Cold-hearted b**h ought to be your name Oh you ain't never loved nobody Still I'm drawn to you like a moth to flame And I guess that it's silly To think you'll ever change New York City You're everything my heart & soul inside New York City Oh I'm stuck here - stuck inside of New York City I been with ya up & I been with ya down New York City I can't get myself outa this town New York City I feel it inside me every day of my life New York City I can't break loose - It's all over me New York City You're a part of my life in every which way New York City Everything I ever meant - everything I say New York City I can't break loose
