New York City

Broadway lights and taxi cabs

Everybody's moving fast

Uptown, downtown, what's you're thing?

She can take what she can't bring

She gave me a lot

Came up through the inner city

She raised me up

And taught me to fight, yeah

She opened my mind

I got to the nitty gritty

The greatest town

That you'll every find, yeah

She is my heart

I love New York City

She's lived and died

So many times

Yeah

Life is always tough

On New York City

Oh, Lord

But she is fine

She always survives

Yeah

She's a queen that stands her ground

Nobody can take her down

Good times, bad times, she can swing

And it ain't even a thang

She is a rock

As regal as she is sturdy

And no one can take

Her freedom away, yeah (Can't take her freedom)

You see

I love her style

Whether she is clean or dirty

She's the greatest town

That you'll every find, yeah

She is my heart

I love New York City

She's lived and died

So many times

Yeah

Life is always tough

On New York City

Oh, Lord

But she is fine

She always survives

Yeah

You know she's my heart

I really love New York City

She's lived and died

So many times

You know life can be real tough

On my New York City

But she's fine

She always survives

Yeah

She is my heart

I love New York City

She's lived and died

So many times

Yeah

Life is always tough

On New York City

Oh, Lord

But she is fine

She always survives

Oh, yeah

I love New York City

She's lived and died

So many times
