It's a hot hot night in the city, 
And I'm singing for the fight of my life; 
And I got no cash, 
But I just don't care, 
I just wanna be famous tonight

And I swear oh lord she's so pretty, 
And one day she's gonna be all mine; 
So I'll touch the sky, 
Till the day I die, 
Swear you're gonna see my name in lights (Oh)

Cause we live for the fame, 
For the fame, 
For the fame; 
Yeah we live for the fame, 
For the fame, 
 
And we sing yeah! 
I can't do this without you, 
Do this without you, 
New York; 
I can't do this without you, 
Do this without you, 
New York
 
And I got no job and no money, 
And I'm four weeks late on rent; 
But I sold my soul, 
To rock and roll, 
With a heart full of dreams in my hands

And he said oh son it's a hard world, 
And only the toughest survive; 
But I show him up, 
And if I go down, 
At least I'm going down in style (Oh)

Cause we live for the fame, 
For the fame, 
For the fame; 

Yeah we live for the fame, 
For the fame, 
 
And we sing yeah! 
I can't do this without you, 
Do this without you, 
New York; 
I can't do this without you, 
Do this without you oh, 

Cause we live for the fame, 
For the fame, 
For the fame; 
Yeah we live for the fame, 
For the fame, 
And we sing yeah! 
I can't do this without you, 
Do this without you
Out you, out you; 
Do this without you, 
New York
 
It's a hot hot night in the city x4

Ow! 
 
Yeah! 
I can't do this without you, 
Do this without you, 
New York; 
I can't do this without you, 
Do this without you oh, 

Cause we live for the fame, 
For the fame, 
For the fame; 
Yeah we live for the fame, 
For the fame, 
And we sing yeah! 
I can't do this without you, 
Do this without you, 
New York

I can't do this without you, 
Do this without you, 
New York; 
I can't do this without you, 
Do this without you, 
New York
