I don't really care what people say About this town right now That if you're by yourself on the subway You'll get mugged, no doubt Cause I don't think it will touch me It's just a long time 'til you get here And I guess I should be more excited Checking where they shot the scenes In Annie Hall and all those other movies That I used to see It's a long time 'til you get here And I'll be alright when you get here But until then I'll just be checking the mailbox And try to get some comfort of any kind And I guess that I'm just crazy but you're right If it doesn't make a difference then I don't mind And I've spent hours thinking bout Those little panties that I love so much And things I could've done when I got high On things I've never touched before But it's all in New York with me I know it's still there to explore and see And who cares about the central park When you're not here to stroll with me And who cares about the modern art When I think of all the fun we'd make Of all those pretentious people With their so sophisticated egoes I want to show you my view of the skyline And I just want to tell the world that I've found you I want to stroll these streets in the night time But I don't want to do it without you Without you on these avenues
