The days were long and the nights so cold
The pages turn and the tale unfolds
He left me for another lady
She stood so tall and she never slept
There was not one moment he could regret
He 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 mind
MmmmThe wolves they howled for my lost soul
I fell down a deep black hole
He left me for another lady
She poured the drinks and she poured the power
Diamond girl who could talk for hours
He 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 want to hear it
Your new laughter lines
I don't want to hear it
The new found friends she introduced you to
I don't wanna know them I just want to be with you
Please don't make me go to
New YorkNew York
She took your heart away oh my
Her name was New York, New York
She poisoned your sweet mindHer name was New York, New York
And she took your heart away oh my
Her name was New York, New York
She had poisoned your sweet mindShe poisoned your sweet mind
