To know what it's like to love somebody the way I love you

To know what it's like to love somebody the way I love you

To know how it feels to kill yourself with bad habits

To know what you want, know you'll never truly have it

New York City, please go easy on me tonight

New York City, please go easy on this heart of mine

Cause I'm losing my lover to the arms of another

New York City, please go easy on me tonight

Tonight

New York City

You promised, I promised

I never knew I could be this selfish

Nights downtown, it's a new town

But I keep thinking I see your face in the crowd

But you're not here and you won't be

Cause you love me enough to let go of me

New York City, please go easy on me tonight

New York City, please go easy on this heart of mine

Cause I'm losing my lover to the arms of another

New York City, please go easy on me tonight
