New York

New York City, I met a man Told me that his name was Dan Said I don't know who I am Just who I wanna be Told me that he didn't care Ran his fingers through my hair Tossed a coin up in the air Said, "Tails, come home with me" Heads went down so I went To the apartment of a friend Where I didn't have to pay no rent Or be good company New York's a good time to let go New York's a good time to let go They're too fast and you're too slow And New York's a good time to let go Johnny of Brooklyn, born and bred To put ideas into my head Can't remember what he said But I know it wasn't true Asked him if he had a light Asked me, "Honey where are you sleepin' tonight?" I said 'one thing I know, Johnny Is I'm not going home with you' So I got lost on the lower east side 'Cause I pissed off my tour guide I was lucky to be alive Underneath these city lights And New York's a good time to let go New York's a good time to let go 'Cause they're much too fast and you're too slow And New York's a good time to let go There's acid rain that stained my jeans Made them go from blue to green Made me look just like Some kind of acid-washed-up movie queen Bleached my hair, stained my face Made me drink just for the taste And to burn out the monster This town has brought out in me So Tennessee, when I get home You just better leave me alone Don't try to claim me as your own I'm not the girl I used to be And New York's a good time to let go New York's a good time to let go 'Cause they're much too fast and you're too slow And New York's a good time to let go And New York's a good time to let go And New York's a good time to let go
