I've only been here once before
Please don't be different
If I could visit you some more
I would be different
Cause all these streets, they make me high
They make me different
And all you people make me shy
Cause you are different
Please don't be different
Please don't be different
They call it new
New york city
They call it new
New york city
I wish that I could take you there
Wish you could listen
I'll show you everything I know
Wish you could listen
Cause all these streets, they make me high
They'll make you listen
I hope we'll make it out alive
Wish you could listen
Oh baby, listen
Oh baby, listen
They call it new
New york city
They call it new
New york city
I really hate to say goodbye
I'm sorry that I let you down
I know I said I'd make it right
But baby I can't leave this town
I really hate to say goodbye
I'm sorry that I let you down
I know I said I'd make it right
But baby I can't leave this town
They call it new
New york city
They call it new
New york city
They call it new
New york city
They call it new
New york city
