I don't like your cats, you don't like my shoes
But I love you, babe, that's why I'm singing the blues
You call me right up, don't even hesitate
Don't go to New York, baby, ah

Now I'm crying I'm here all alone
You're leaving this place that you once called home
I'm suppose to listen to you say
That we won't have one more date

Don't go to New York, baby
New York can wait
Can't you see that I care?
New York can wait
Can't you see that I care?
New York can wait
Doesn't need one more person over there

Well, you can go to France or go to Timbuktu
You can even go to China if I can go with you
But as for New York, don't set one foot in that state
Don't go to New York, baby, New York no way, yeah

Well, we've been through so much I don't want to let it all go, no no, I don't know
Well there's a little something baby my heart tells me you should know

When I'm with you, I have so much fun
In my heart you'll be the only one
But come on, babe, don't treat me this way

Don't go to New York, baby, New York can wait
New York can wait, baby I miss your touch
New York can wait, yeah, baby I miss your touch
New York can wait, baby I miss you
New York can wait, baby I miss you
New York can wait, baby I miss you too much, yeah
