The days were long and the nights so cold The pages turn and the tale unfolds He left me for another lady She stood so tall and she never slept There was not one moment he could regret He left me for another lady
He took my hand one day and told me He was leaving Me disbelieving And I I I I I I I I Had to let him go
And it was New York, New York And she took his heart away oh my And it was New York, New York She had poisoned his sweet mind
The wolves they howled for my lost soul I fell down a deep black hole He left me for another lady She poured the drinks and she poured the power Diamond girl who could talk for hours He left me for another lady
Now I am on my own He told me he was leaving And I was pleading And I I I I I I I I Had to let him go
And it was New York, New York And she took his heart away oh my And it was New York, New York She had poisoned his sweet mind
The greatest times I don't want to hear it Your new laughter lines I don't want to hear it The new found friends she introduced you to I don't wanna know them I just want to be with you Please don't make me go to New York
New York And she took your heart away oh my And it was New York, New York She poisoned your sweet mind
And it was New York, New York And she took your heart away oh my And it was New York, New York She poisoned your sweet mind
