Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Don't, don't you, don't you, don't you, don't you know

[Verse 2]

Killin' me

[Verse 3]

Bad city and it ain't all

It's cracked up to be

Lord have mercy, mercy on me

New York is killing, New York is killing

New York is killing me

Don't, don't you, don't you, don't you, don't you know

[Verse 4]

Killin' me

[Verse 5]

Don't, don't you, don't you, don't you, don't you

[Verse 6]

Goodness

[Verse 7]

Bad city, did you know

It's cracked up to be

Lord have mercy, mercy on me

New York is killing, New York is killing

New York is killing me

Don't, don't you know

New York is killing

Killing me
