Lyrics
[Verse 1]
New York isn't New York without you, love
So far in a few blocks to be solo
And if I call you from First Avenue
Well, you're the only motherfucker in the city who can handle me
[Verse 2]
New love wasn't true love, back to you, love
So much for a home run with some blue bloods
If I last-strawed you on Eighth Avenue
Well, you're the only motherfucker in the city who can stand me
[Chorus]
I have lost a hero
I have lost a friend
But for you, darling
I'd do it all again
I have lost a hero
I have lost a friend
But for you, darling
I'd do it all again
[Verse 3]
New York isn't New York without you, love
Too few of our old crew left on Astor
So, if I trade our hood for some Hollywood
Well, you're the only motherfucker in the city who would
Only motherfucker in the city who would
Only motherfucker in the city who'll forgive me
[Chorus]
I have lost a hero
I have lost a friend
But for you, darling
I'd do it all again
I have lost a hero
I have lost a friend
But for you, darling
I'd do it all again
