"No Pity (In The Naked City)" lyrics

"No Pity (In The Naked City)"

Mmm-hmmm, there's no pity
In the naked city, yeah
When you're all alone
And all your hard-earned money's gone

There just ain't no pity (There's no pity)
No no no, in the naked city, yeah (New York City)
Help me now, mmm-hmmm

Ya go walkin' down Broadway
Watchin' people catch the subway
Take it from me, don't ask for a helpin' hand
Mmm, 'cause no one will understand

Ahhh, there's no pity, yeah yeah (There's no pity)
No no no, in the naked city, yeah yeah (New York City)
Ohhh, help me now, mmm-hmmm

(There's no pity) Folks that don't know think it's fair and nice
(New York City) It's the only place I know where hearts turn to ice
(There's no pity) You can have a room, and your neighbor next door
(New York City) Will swear to someone, if they ask, that you don't live there no more

Mmm, bright lights will find you
And they will mess you around
Let me tell you, millions will watch you, have mercy now
As you sink right down to the ground

Ahhh, there's no pity (There's no pity)
No no no, in the naked city, yeah-yeah-yeah (New York City)
Come on, help me now (There's no pity)
Ahhh, no pity! (New York City)
No no no, in the naked city, yeah-yeah
