On Broadway

Just like the snow in New York

You took me by surprise in New York

And opened my eyes to this glass bottomed world

You're my New York girl

A pocket full of beggars

In the emptiness of Queens

It was Brooklyn at night time

The darkest I have been

And I was timing my steps to the clock in Times Square

False hoping you'd choose me again cause it's fair

But like the snow in New York

You took me by surprise in New York

And opened my eyes to this underground world

You're my New York girl

Oh my New York girl

You're my New York girl

Finding problems with our hotels in every avenue

What happened to excitement of this single bed for two?

I'm lost in this forest and our Bushwicks on fire

False hoping you'd choose me

I'm a tourist for hire

Just like a show on Broadway

Taught me to love

Love in the hard way

Opened my heart to this narcissist world

You're my New York girl

Oh my New York girl

You're my New York girl

My fifty-cent slice

Back then you were nice

With a taste for the world and you embraced danger

When all the fishes have died

And all the people who tried

To break through your mould

They still do what their told

I lost my breath in New York

So scared to death by your flaws

No wonder she cries at the premiere night

You're my New York Girl
