Just like the snow in New York
You took me by surprise in New York
And opened my eyes to this glass bottomed world
You're my New York girl
A pocket full of beggars
In the emptiness of Queens
It was Brooklyn at night time
The darkest I have been
And I was timing my steps to the clock in Times Square
False hoping you'd choose me again cause it's fair
But like the snow in New York
You took me by surprise in New York
And opened my eyes to this underground world
You're my New York girl
Oh my New York girl
You're my New York girl
Finding problems with our hotels in every avenue
What happened to excitement of this single bed for two?
I'm lost in this forest and our Bushwicks on fire
False hoping you'd choose me
I'm a tourist for hire
Just like a show on Broadway
Taught me to love
Love in the hard way
Opened my heart to this narcissist world
You're my New York girl
Oh my New York girl
You're my New York girl
My fifty-cent slice
Back then you were nice
With a taste for the world and you embraced danger
When all the fishes have died
And all the people who tried
To break through your mould
They still do what their told
I lost my breath in New York
So scared to death by your flaws
No wonder she cries at the premiere night
You're my New York girl
