New York, I Love You 

But you're bringing me down 



New York, I Love You 

But you're bringing me down 



Like a rat in a cage 

Pulling minimum wage 



New York, I Love You 

But you're bringing me down 



New York, you're safer 

And you're wasting my time 



Our records all show 

You are filthy but fine 



But they shuttered your stores 

When you opened the doors 

To the cops who were bored 

Once they'd run out of crime 



New York, you're perfect 

Don't please don't change a thing 



Your mild billionaire mayor's 

Now convinced he's a king 



So the boring collect 

I mean all disrespect 



In the neighborhood bars 

I'd once dreamt I would drink 



New York, I Love You 

But you're freaking me out 



There's a ton of the twist 

But we're fresh out of shout 



Like a death in the hall 

That you hear through your wall 



New York, I Love You 

But you're freaking me out 



New York, I Love You 

But you're bringing me down 



New York, I Love You 

But you're bringing me down 



Like a death of the heart 

Jesus, where do I start? 



But you're still the one pool 

Where I'd happily drown 



And oh.. Take me off your mailing list 

For kids that think it still exists 

Yes, for those who think it still exists 



Maybe I'm wrong 

And maybe you're right 

Maybe I'm wrong 

And myabe you're right 



Maybe you're right 

Maybe I'm wrong 

And just maybe you're right 



And Oh.. 

Maybe mother told you true 

And they're always be something there for you 

And you'll never be alone 



But maybe she's wrong 

And maybe I'm right 

And just maybe she's wrong 



Maybe she's wrong 

And maybe I'm right 

And if so, is there?
