"New York" lyrics

The days were long and the nights so cold
The pages turned and the tale unfolds
He'd left me for another lady
She stood so tall and she never slept
There was not one moment he could regret
He'd 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

Her name was New York, New York
And she took his heart away oh my
Her name was New York, New York
She had poisoned his sweet mind
Mm mm

The wolves they howled for my lost soul
I fell down a deep black hole
He'd left me for another lady
She poured the drinks and she poured the power
A diamond girl who could talk for hours
He'd 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

Her name was New York, New York
And she took his heart away oh my
Her name was New York, New York
She had poisoned his sweet mind

The greatest times
I don't wanna hear it
Your new laughter lines
I don't wanna hear it
The new found friends she introduced you to
I don't wanna know them I just wanna be with you
Please don't make me go to...
New York, New York

She took your heart away oh my
Her name was New York, New York
She poisoned your sweet mind

Her name was New York, New York
She took your heart away oh my
Her name was New York, New York
She poisoned your sweet mind

She poisoned your sweet mind
