New York Is a Woman lyrics

New York City spread herself before you with her bangles and her spangles and her stars you were impressed with the city so undressed you had to go out cruising all the bars your business trip extended through the weekend suburban boy here for your first time from the 27th floor above the midtown roar you were dazzled by her beauty and her crime and she's every girl you've seen in every movie every dame you've ever known on late night TV in her steam and steel is the passion you feel endlessly New York is a woman she'll make you cry and to her you're just another guy look down and see her ruined places smoke and ash still rising to the sky she's happy that you're here but when you disappear she won't know that you're gone to say goodbye and she's every girl you've seen in every movie every dame you've ever known on late night tv in her steam and steel is the passion you feel desperately New York is a woman she'll make you cry and to her you're just another guy
