Packin' my life into my car
Movin' to east LA
That's where the sun up in the sky
But it's just not the same
Not like the time you left me
Stranded in the Bronx
Two in the morning
Couldn't get a cap to stop
I never been so cold
That hurt me just a breath
New York I love it when you're mean
When you're mean to me
Break out the short
Go to the gym
Nobody wears long sleeves
Everyone's tan
Sculpted and thin
Outta the magazine
Not like the seven train
On the Monday after five
Knockin' old ladies down
Just to make it home alive
Stuck in the subway
Like a can of sardine's
New York I love it when you're mean
Can't believe I never stop to notice
A million little lights
And inside of everyone
Somebody's little life
Who needs a star
When you got all these apartments
Shining in the night
Never seen such a sight
Some other cities maybe easy on the eyes
Picture yourself live in there
And happy til you die
But nobody said
Life supposed to be a breeze
New York I love it when you're mean
New York you're exactly as you seem
New York if you don't like it you can leave
New York I love it when you're mean
When you're mean to me
