New York

Lyrics

From the shores of the Mediterranean All the way to New York City Too bloody expensive to live in that town And I found out the hard way But I almost had it all Was it Washington Square Or the way you wore you hair? Was it central park Or kissing after dark? Guess I'll never know Not sure I even care But my heart will always live With you and me there But I can't afford to live in New York City Ahahahah And she can't afford to leave Ahahah I can't afford to live in New York City Ahahahah And she can't afford to leave But, God, I miss her Was it the Sea Port in June Or your face by the moon? Was it Soho's charm Or you and I arm in arm? Was it the 6 train uptown Or true love that I found? It all blends into one When I think of you now And I can't afford to live in New York City Ahahahah And she can't afford to leave Ahahah I can't afford to live in New York City Ahahahah And she can't afford to leave Well I know that a promise is to keep But money's tight and I've been losing sleep Old Man Circumstance will have his way, it's true But what I wouldn't give to stay here with you But I can't afford to live in New York City Ahahahah And she can't afford to leave Ahahah I can't afford to live in New York City Ahahahah And she can't afford to leave And I've never been good with good-byes But good-byes are all I have But I can't afford to live in New York City And I pull 'em out of here Is there anything I can say to make you change your mind?
