You can't wait to get her in your nightlife

Take her out and show her all your bright lights

She wants to be there at the top of the world

But she's just a little girl



New York, hold her tight

New York, every night

Whisper my name as she sleeps

Don't turn her heart to stone

Don't let her feel alone

If you can hear me, New York



She'd always dreamed and said she'd be a dancer

You could teach her, reach her and romance her

But I know she really loves me too

She just had to find out about you



New York, hold her tight

New York, every night

Whisper my name as she sleeps



So dance her for awhile

Lead her on and make her smile

But if she wants to come home I'll be there



Don't turn her heart to stone

Don't let her feel alone

If you can hear me, New York



New York, is she ever coming home?
