New York

From the shores of the Mediterranean All the way to New York City It's bloody expensive to livin' at 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 But she can't afford to leave But God, I miss her Was it the Sea Port 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 But she can't afford to leave I can't afford to live in New York City But 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 Ooh, what I wouldn't give To stay here with you But I can't afford to live in New York City She can't afford to leave I can't afford to live in New York City But she can't afford to leave And I've never been good With good-byes But good-byes Are all I have And I can't afford to live in New York City And I'm pulling out of here Is there anything that I can say To make you change your mind
