The days were long and the nights so cold
the pages turned and the tale unfolds
He'd left me for another lady.
She stood so tall and she never slept
There was not one moment he could regret
He'd left me for another ladyHe took my hand one day and told me he was leaving, me disbelieving and I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I had to let him goHer name was New York, New York, and she took his heart away oh my Her name was New York, New York, she had poisoned his sweet mindmmm.. The wolves they howled for my lost soul
I fell down a deep black hole, He'd left me for another lady
she poured the drinks and she poured the power
A diamond girl who could talk for hours
He'd left me for another ladyNow I am on my own, he told me he was leaving, and I was pleading and I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I had to let him goHer name was New York, New York, and she took his heart away oh my, Her name was New York, New York, she had poisoned his sweet mindThe greatest times, I don't wanna hear it, your new laughter lines
I don't wanna hear it, the new found friends she introduced you to
I don't wanna know them I just wanna be with you..please don't make me go to New York, New York, and she took your heart away oh my, her name was New York, New York, She poisoned your sweet mind. she poisoned your sweet mind.
