To the cities of Mexico Lived in an apartment out on Avenue A Had a tar-hut on the corner of Tenth Had myself a lover who was finer than gold But I been broke I've been busted up since

G

Hell, I still love you New York Found myself a picture that would fit in the folds Of my wallet and it stayed pretty good Still amazed I didn't lose it out on Lutheran Place When I was drunk and I was thinking of you Every day the children they were singing the tunes Out on the streets and you could hear from the side Used to take the subway out of Houston and Third I would wait for you and not try to hide Love won't play any games with you Anymore if you don't want her to World won't wait I watched you shake But honey I don't blame you Hell, I still love you New York I remember Christmas in the blistering cold In a church on the Upper West Side Babe, you stood there singing I was holding you arm You were holding my trust like a child Found a lot of trouble out on Avenue B But I tried to keep the overhead low Farewell to the city and the love of my life As we left before we had to go Love won't play any games with you Anymore if you don't want her to Sweep and shake this old thing out the door I'll always be thinking of you I'll always love you though New York
