Left my boy in New York City
Left him crying in the rain
Well, I told him that I made my mind up
I didn't want to see him again
What makes the night so lonely
What makes the night so long
I guess it's just because I'm a girl
That's done a good boy wrong
I can't eat, I can't sleep
All I can do is cry
All I can do is cry
Told him that he was a trifler
Told him that he played around
But I was just a lyin' girl
Trying to hide the tracks she'd found
Gonna catch myself a flyer
One that's New York City bound
I'm a-goin' lookin' for my baby
Good Lord, I hope he's still around
I can't eat, I can't sleep
All I can do is cry
All I can do is cry
