All the highs without the lows
But it's not the way life goes
Fashion boys in applejacks
They're all part of the hunting set (Sing!)

Manhattan (Manhattan)
Manhattan for me
Some girls need liberty
We all wanna be free

(Hey!)

Mama said: "Don't turn your head
Keep it cool, girl, now don't look back
Treat them right and they will bite
Boys don't loose their appetite" (Sing!)

Manhattan (Manhattan)
Manhattan for me
Some girls need liberty
We all wanna be free

Mama said: "Your daddy-o
He ain't your daddy-o
It was some Romeo
A long, long time ago"

Mama said: "Your daddy-o
He ain't your daddy-o
It was some Romeo
A long, long time ago"

Don't go out on a Friday night
(Save it all up for the weekend)
Don't go out on a Friday night
(Save it all up for the weekend)

Manhattan
Manhattan for me
Some girls need liberty
We all wanna be free
Boys

Manhattan
Manhattan for me
Some guys need liberty
We don't wanna be free
