New York Pretty (Video Edit)

I hope that everyone there can see me now, now that I feel so much better ‘bout myself
Now that I feel better about myself

Oooooooooh

Long ago I dreamed that I could know how to be more than just a face you’ll never remember
So I learned how to grow how to put on a show till you forgot about putting me down
And learned to surrender
Oh I work hard for the money, work so hard to be understood
I work hard to be better than myself and everybody else who thought that I never could, and

I hope that everyone there can see me now, now that I feel so much better ‘bout myself
Now that I feel better about myself
I hope wherever you are you see me now, now that I’m in New York City feeling New York Pretty
Making harmony with someone in the crowd

(Oh I)

Never knew a thing about me, told me with your best smile on that you just see me as
One of those no go, no good cheap kinds
So tell me what you think about me now, standing on my own two feet, no one else behind the wheel
You’re talking your way downtown, I’m in the express line

Oh I worked hard for the money, worked so hard to be understood
Worked hard to be better than myself and everybody else who said that I never could

I hope that everyone there can see me now, now that I feel so much better ‘bout myself
Now that I feel better about myself
I hope wherever you are you see me now, now that I’m in New York City feeling New York Pretty
Making harmony with someone in the crowd

And I...

Said all you wanted and you got nothing for it
Instead of defeated I became the one to beat

I hope that everyone there can see me now, now that I feel so much better ‘bout myself
Now that I feel better about myself
I hope wherever you are you see me now, now that I’m in New York City feeling New York Pretty
Making harmony with someone in the crowd

And I...
