Oh NY man

Better than the other man

Oh, NY man 

You’re the only thing I understand

 

Since I left the neighborhood

My spirits gone and I’m not feeling so good

And everything you said would happen all came true

They do things really different here

They don’t do like you do

 

Oh NY man 

I hear the subway see us walking hand in hand

On autumn afternoons

Smoking on fire escapes through summer moons

 

Since I left the neighborhood 

My song is sad and I’m not feeling so good

I called you from the airport just to say hello

I wanted you to stop me 

Not to let me go

I liked the me that I was when I was with you

 

Oh NY man 

I left rich but I’m back cap-in-hand

Oh, what a fall its true I’ve made a mess of it all

 

Since I left the neighborhood 

My spirits gone and I’m not feeling so good
