New York Is A Woman

New York City spread herself before youWith her bangles and her spangles and her starsYou were impressed with the city so undressedYou had to go out cruising all the barsYour business trip extended through the weekendSuburban boy here for your first timeFrom the 27th floor above the midtown roarYou were dazzled by her beauty and her crimeAnd she's every girl you've seen in every movieEvery dame you've ever known on late night TVIn her steam and steel is the passion you feelEndlesslyNew York is a woman she'll make you cryAnd to her you're just another guyLook down and see her ruined placesSmoke and ash still rising to the skyShe's happy that you're here but when you disappearShe won't know that you're gone to say goodbyeAnd she's every girl you've seen in every movieEvery dame you've ever known on late night tvIn her steam and steel is the passion you feelDesperatelyNew York is a woman she'll make you cryAnd to her you're just another guy
