From the shores of the Mediterranean All the way to New York City Too bloody expensive to live in that town And I found out the hard way But I almost had it all
Was it Washington Square Or the way you wore you hair? Was it Central Park Or kissing after dark? Guess I'll never know Not sure I even care But my heart will always live With you and me there But I can't afford to live in New York City And she can't afford to leave I can't afford to live in New York City And she can't afford to leave But, God, I miss her
Was it the Seaport in June Or your face by the moon? Was it Soho's charm Or you and I arm in arm? Was it the 6 train uptown Or true love that I found? It all blends into one When I think of you now
And I can't afford to live in New York City And she can't afford to leave I can't afford to live in New York City And she can't afford to leave
Well I know that a promise is to keep But money's tight and I've been losing sleep Old man circumstance will have his way, it's true But what I wouldn't give to stay here with you
But I can't afford to live in New York City And she can't afford to leave I can't afford to live in New York City And she can't afford to leave
And I've never been good with goodbyes But goodbyes are all I have And I can't afford to live in New York City And I'm pullin' out of here Is there anything I can say To make you change your mind?Teksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
