Lyrics
[Verse 1]
A hotel room with a street below
People come and people go
All the friends that we used to know
[Chorus]
Ain't coming back
Ain't coming back
Ain't coming back
[Verse 2]
You say your heart has a rhythm
Well I see you got your secret on
You say-ay and nothing to hide
You and your secret life
[Chorus]
Don't look at the moon tonight
You'll never be, never be, never be Manhattan
Don't look at the moon tonight
You can never be, never be, never be, never be Manhattan
[Verse 3]
Little one, with your badge
And your suitcase on
No suit and your hair's not right
'Cause nobody knows this woman by your side
[Chorus]
It's not who you know, it's the useful woman by your side
It's not who you know, it's a useful woman by your side
Manhattan
[Verse 4]
See your heart has a rhythm
Well I see you got your secret on
You say-ay and nothing to hide
You and your secret life
[Chorus]
Don't look at the moon tonight
You'll never be, never be, never be Manhattan
Don't look at the moon tonight
You can never be, never be, never be, never be Manhattan
[Verse 5]
See your heart has a rhythm
You got your secret on
Say you got nothing to hide
You, you, you and your secret life
[Chorus]
You'll never be, never be, never be Manhattan
Howling at me, howling at you
Howling at me, howling at you
[Outro]
Liberty in the basement light
Free speech, lipstick in the moonlight
Howling to get me, howlin’ to get you
In Harlem, in a dark back room
Dancing to a different tune
Howling at me, howling at you
