Oh, New York man Better than the other man Oh, New York man You're the only thing I understand Since I left the neighbourhood My spirit's gone and I'm not feeling so good And everything you said would happen All came true They do things really different here They don't do like you do ♪ Oh, New York man I hear the subway, see us walking hand in hand On autumn afternoons Smokin' on fire escapes through summer moons Since I left the neighbourhood My song is sad and I don't feel like I should I call you from the airport just to say hello I wanted you to stop me Not to let me go I liked the me that I was When I was with you ♪ Oh, New York man I left rich, but I'm back cap-in-hand Oh, what a fall It's true, I've made a mess of it all Since I left the neighbourhood My spirit's gone and I don't feel like I should Since I left the neighbourhood My spirit's gone and I'm not feeling so good (Feeling so good, feeling so good)
