Lyrics

Oh New York
What have I gotten myself into?
What kind of masochistic fool would go and fall in love with you?
Why am I still under your spell when it‘s hell you put me through
Oh I swear you just deplete me
Too much noise
Lunatics and tourists everywhere
You give me broken subway trains with ever-rising fares
You‘re so messy and so tragic, but there‘s magic in the air
And so you have my heart completely
Oh oh oh
When I was just a kid
I always ho-o-oped
That someday this is where I‘d live
Build me up, break me down, Manhattan
Such a torturous town, Manhattan
You give me one million problems to solve in a single day
One million reasons to leave and a million more to stay
Oh Manhattan, I wouldn’t have you any other way
So damn cold
Somedays youre a place that I despise
You always fight me tooth and nail and you refuse to compromise
But to leave you for another love would be a useless enterprise
And it would be no consolation
Cuz you still sing me
More songs than my ears could ever grab
Constant rhythm day and night and it can swell and soothe and stab
In the wailing of a siren or the hailing of a cab
You feed me so much inspiration
Oh oh oh
You’ve molded me into a man
And you‘re so-o-o
Much a part of who I am
Build me up, break me down, Manhattan
Such a torturous town, Manhattan
You give me one million problems to solve in a single day
One million reasons to leave and a million more to stay
Oh Manhattan, I wouldn’t have you any other way
Oh Manhattan, I wouldn’t have you any other way
