You've got your finger on the pulse of my soul
 Let me place a kiss in the small of your back
 Love and protect you from the evils of this world

 Baby don't ever leave me stranded
 Whoever said that the streets were paved with gold
 We'll I'm afraid that we're all sadly mistaken
 There's nothing here 'til we have someone to hold

 I love you with all the joy of living
 'Til the lights go down in New York City
 It's a special love affair
 And there's magic in the air

 You gotta shake me down
 Bring me 'round to my senses
 'Til I'm lost and found
 And you surround me with your senses

 If love wasn't here would we reinvent it?
 Oh take me down to the very root of my soul
 Oh baby say it as if you really mean it
 And feel the passion
 Work its way up through your skin

 I love you with all the joy of living
 'Til the lights go down in New York City
 It's a special love affair
 And there's magic in the air

 You gotta shake me down
 Bring me 'round to my senses
 'Til I'm lost and found
 And you surround me with your senses

 Let me take you by the hand
 And lead you to a safe place in this world
