Left my boy in New York City Left him crying in the rain Well, I told him that I made my mind up I didn't want to see him again What makes the night so lonely What makes the night so long I guess it's just because I'm a girl That's done a good boy wrong I can't eat, I can't sleep All I can do is cry All I can do is cry Told him that he was a trifler Told him that he played around But I was just a lyin' girl Trying to hide the tracks she'd found Gonna catch myself a flyer One that's New York City bound I'm a-goin' lookin' for my baby Good Lord, I hope he's still around I can't eat, I can't sleep All I can do is cry All I can do is cry
