Chelsea Hotel #2

I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel
 You were talkin' so brave and so sweet
 Givin' me head on the unmade bed
 While the limousines wait in the street
 Those were the reasons an' that was New York
 We were runnin' for the money and the flesh
 And that was called love for the workers in song
 Probably still is for those of them left
 Ah, but you got away, didn't you, baby?
 You just turned your back on the crowd
 You got away, I never once heard you say
 I need you, I don't need you
 I need you, I don't need you
 And all of that jiving around
 
 ♪
 And I remember you well in Chelsea Hotel
 You were famous, your heart was a legend
 You told me again you preferred handsome men
 But for me, you would make an exception
 And clenching your fist for the ones like us
 Who are oppressed by the figures of beauty
 You fixed yourself, you said, "Well, never mind
 We are ugly but we have the music"
 And you got away, didn't you, baby?
 You just turned your back on the crowd
 You got away, I never once heard you say
 I need you, I don't need you
 I need you, I don't need you
 And all of that jiving around
 ♪
 I don't mean to suggest that I loved you the best
 I can't keep track of each fallen robin
 I remember you well in Chelsea Hotel
 That's all, I don't even think of you that often
