Cold City

Oooh, oooh

Spent all my money and my time

Oooh, oooh

Cold city

Got no work, can't pay my rent

Wish she just was heaven sent

So cruel

So cruel

Now I ain't heard from Jane in three long years

I heard she got eaten up by them jackals out in Queens

Swallowed up in this cold city

Guess that's why

Guess that's why I gotta play those blues

Oh, it's so hard

Cold, cold city

Officer, I done paid my fine

Not doing business with New York state of mind

Yeah

Cold misty town

Guess that's why

Guess that's why we love to play those blues

Oh, hustlin' man, I need my fix

Want a girl who's ready to stay

Oh, it just makes me

Makes someone like me wanna cry

Oooh, oooh

Cold city

Don't you know that I don't know what to do?

Take the N train home and all I do is think 'bout you

Thinkin' 'bout you, baby

Ain't heard a grown man cry in years

But I saw him on the street, he had so many tears

Flowin' down from his face

Guess that's why

Guess that's why, yeah yeah yeah

Oh baby, why I love to sing those blues

Mmm hmm hmm

Cold city
