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 woman 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
Hmm
The wolves they howl 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 bleeding
And I I I I I I I
I had to let him go go 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 wanna hear it
Your new laughing line I don't wanna hear it
The new found friend 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 from mine
And it was new york new york
She poisoned your sweet mind
And it was new york new york
She took your heart away from mine
And it was new york new york
She poisoned your sweet mind
She poisoned your sweet mind
