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
