Lyrics

[Verse 1]
City rhythm, ooh
City rhythm, ooh
City rhythm, ooh
[Verse 2]
When my heart is torn apart
(City rhythm, ooh)
By the love I wish I had
Well, I spend my nights in the city's lights
(City rhythm, ooh)
And things don't seem so bad
[Verse 3]
You know the movement seems to soothe me (Ah)
And the tempo takes control (Ah)
And I lose my blues when
The New York City rhythm fills my soul
[Verse 4]
It's the New York City rhythm
Runnin' through my life
(City rhythm)
The poundin' beat of the city streets
That keeps my dreams alive
[Verse 5]
I'm lost (I'm lost), I'm found (I'm found)
I'm up (I'm up), I'm down (I'm down)
But somehow I survive
It's got to be the New York City rhythm in my life (Ah)
Oh, it's got to be
The New York City rhythm in my life, in my life
[Verse 6]
City rhythm, ooh
City rhythm, ooh
City rhythm, ooh
City rhythm, ooh
[Verse 7]
When I'm out for love or sin
(City rhythm, ooh)
Oh, it's good to be in town
In the funky dives on the old west side
(City rhythm, ooh)
There's always somethin' goin' down
[Verse 8]
Yes, I live my life with strangers (Ah)
And the danger's always there (Ah)
But when I hit Broadway and it's time to play
You know that I don't care
[Verse 9]
It's the New York City rhythm
Runnin' through my life
(City rhythm)
The poundin' beat of the city streets
That keeps my dreams alive
[Verse 10]
I'm lost (I'm lost), I'm found (I'm found)
I'm up (I'm up), I'm down (I'm down)
But somehow I survive
It's got to be the New York City rhythm in my life (Ah)
Oh, it's got to be
The New York City rhythm in my life, in my life (Ah)
[Verse 11]
City rhythm, ooh
City rhythm
[Verse 12]
Nueva York
Nueva York
Nueva York
Nueva York
Nueva York
Nueva York
Nueva York
Nueva York
Ooh-ah!
Nueva York
Nueva York
Nueva York
Nueva York
Uh!
[Verse 13]
(City rhythm) Uh, girl
Got (City rhythm, ooh)
New York City rhythm
(City rhythm, ooh)
Gotta, gotta, g-gotta, g-got to be
(City rhythm, ooh)
The New York City rhythm
(City rhythm, ooh)
Ooh, gotta, gotta, got to be
(City rhythm, ooh)
The New York City rhythm
(City rhythm, ooh)
Gotta, gotta, g-gotta, g-got to be
(City rhythm)
The New York
