Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I've a constant ache in the morning light
It's on account of the night before
Some Park Lane lady in a shady bar
Took a fancy to the watch I wore
[PreChorus]
Oh, but I can still remember how she laughed at me
As I spun around and hit the bed
She said, "Thank you, honey, forget about the money
This pretty watch'll do instead"
[Chorus]
City living woman, you're so static
Matching your men with a hook and eye
If you're gonna spend the summer in New York City, oh
Them women, oh, oh, oh, they're gonna slice your pie
[Chorus]
Said, "You're so static, baby, I've had it"
Rolling in a yellow cab
Downtown hustlers trying to pull some muscle, oh
If they catch you, oh, oh, oh, it could've turned out bad
[Verse 2]
You show me what you want, I'll show you what I've got
I can show you a real good time
She's a friend indeed of a friend in need
But you'll be sorry when she leaves you crying
[PreChorus]
But I can still remember how she laughed at me
As I spun around and hit the bed
She said, "Thank you, honey, forget about the money
This pretty watch will do instead"
[Chorus]
City living woman, you're so static
Matching your men with a hook and eye
If you're gonna spend the summer in New York City, oh
Them women, oh, oh, oh, they're gonna slice your pie
[Chorus]
Said, "You're so static, baby, I've had it"
Rolling in a yellow cab
Downtown hustlers trying to pull some muscle, oh
If they catch you, oh, oh, oh, it could've turned out bad
[Chorus]
City living woman, you're so static
Matching your men with a hook and eye
If you're gonna spend the summer in New York City, oh
Well, them women, oh, oh, oh, they're gonna slice your pie
[Outro]
Said, "You're so static, baby, I've had it"
Rolling in a yellow cab
Downtown hustlers trying to pull some muscle, oh
If they catch you, oh, oh, oh, it could turn out bad
