I've Got New York

Artists : 6ths, The : I've Got New York

Surprise! It's me.
It's drunk. I'm three.
For a couple hours, the city was my dance floor
Then I wandered around wondering why you don't love me anymore

Surprise! I'm real.
I think and feel.
And I used to be a person in some way
So I can't imagine why I'm wasting quarters on the telephone to say:

I've got New York all to myself --
from the Great White Way to Little West Twelfth;
from the big blue bridge to the Hudson's swells --
I've got New York all to myself

The day is gone; the night is too
Everywhere to go, but nothing to do
I had a lover once, but that fell through
I've got New York, but I ain't got you

Got all New York to be lonely in
Got cigarettes and I've got gin
and thought I feel just like I've got no skin
I've got New York and the winter wind.
