NEW YORK DOLL
Hello you, big city dawn
Won’t you leave me? Give me just a call
Hello you, big city dawn
Won’t you leave me? Won’t you come?
Here I sit on forty-second street
Gonna play a song for your restless feet
Hello you, New York doll
Give me a minute, a minute on my own
Always in a rush, day and night
As we try to fall asleep down by the big city light
Hello you, you New York doll
The heart is cold but the streets are full and the towers fall
Take me away, New York doll
Hello you, New York doll
You stand tall, lean against the wall
Hello you, big city doll
Deal with the poor and marry the rich
Billions of wheels but only money rolls
The game is good as long as it flows
Hello you, my New York doll
Your heart is cold and the streets are full but the towers fall
Hello you, my New York doll
Money’s tight, I want more
I got an apple in my hand and I’m knocking right at your door
Hello you, hello my New York doll
