You gave me one chance, you said do or die
I followed you, I followed you, I followed you
Up five flights on a warm night, I followed you into the black light
Time fixed, clocks ticked
You gave me chances, subterranean advances
I follow you, I follow you
New York City boy
You never let the world forget you
True hearts can't be destroyed
Now it's the 21st century, city boy
They call you rude boy, they say you're too wild
But you got style, you got style, you got style
Spent your youth in the train yards
Now you are a hundred scars, slow start, fast heart
You gave me one chance, you gave me one chance
I follow you, I follow you
New York City boy
You never let the world forget you
True hearts can't be destroyed
Now it's the 21st century, city boy
Sugar and spice, midnight
Sugar and spice
Hey now, don't you leave, I believe
Hey now, won't you be good to me?
Hey now, don't you leave, I believe
Hey now, won't you be good to me?
New York, New York
New York City boy
New York City boy
You never let the world forget you
True hearts can't be destroyed
Now it's the 21st century, city boy
You never let the world forget you
