New York, you're bad to me You spend my money and my energy Change my plans without apology When nothing's running express New York, you don't treat me right Cars and sirens keep me up each night And your diamond studded pavement's a trick of the light Ooh, you put my love to the test I'm tied up like a pretzel Trying to be what I'm not You should make me feel special But I'm just a drop in your pot Someday I'll settle down With some sweeter, cleaner, greener town And I won't mind having all that space around But you'll be hard to forget I'm tied up like a pretzel Trying to be what I'm not You should make me feel special But these sorry-starry eyes are on every city block Someday I'll settle down With some sweeter, cleaner, greener town And I'll make my waves while all your new lovers drown And the train keeps running and the world spins round But something will be missing it's true Oh New York there's no getting over you Oh New York there's no getting over you
