New York Is A Woman

New York City spread herself before you
 With her bangles and her spangles and her stars
 You were impressed with the city so undressed
 You had to go out cruising all the bars
 Your business trip extended through the weekend
 Suburban boy here for your first time
 From the 27th floor above the Midtown roar
 You were dazzled by her beauty and her crime
 And she's every girl you've seen in every movie
 Every dame you've ever known on late night TV
 In her steam and steel is the passion you feel
 Endlessly
 New York is a woman, she'll make you cry
 But to her you're just another guy
 Look down and see her ruined places
 Smoke and ash still rising to the sky
 She's happy that you're here but when you disappear
 She won't know that you're gone to say goodbye
 And she's every girl you've seen in every movie
 Every dame you've ever known on late night TV
 In her steam and steel is the passion you feel
 Desperately
 New York is a woman, she'll make you cry
 But to her you're just another guy
