The days were long
and the nights so cold
the pages turned and the tale unfolds
He'd left me for another lady.
She stood so tall and she never slept
There was not one moment he could regret
He'd left me for another lady
He took my hand one day
and told me he was leaving,
me disbelieving and I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I had to let him go
Her name was New York,
New York,
and she took his heart away oh my
Her name was New York,
New York,
she had poisoned his sweet mind
mmm.
The wolves they howled for my lost soul
I fell down a deep black hole,
He'd left me for another lady
she poured the drinks and she poured the power
A diamond girl who could talk for hours
He'd left me for another lady
Now I am on my own,
he told me he was leaving,
and I was pleading
and I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I had to let him go
Her name was New York,
New York,
and she took his heart away oh my,
Her name was New York,
New York,
she had poisoned his sweet mind
please don't make me go to
New York,
New York,
and she took your heart away oh my,
her name was New York,
New York,
She poisoned your sweet mind.
she poisoned your sweet mind.
