[Verse 1]
I fell in love with the people on the subway
The 6 train has my heart
This is my city, I was born to be in it
I make my bills in Central Park

[Pre-Chorus]
But all the rich, all the bad and bougie
None of that fits my life
Stare at the jewelry
I still envy the high life

[Chorus]
Good girl in New York
You won't get too far
Hold on to your heart
You're not a star
Good girl in New York
Try not to stay poor
We all want grandeur
You're not a star

[Verse 2]
Try to connect them, trying hard to make sense
Of all the stupid little games, oh
A different language, A different way to say it
If you want fame you gotta pay
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh
All the bad and bougie
None of that fits my life
Stare at the jewelry
I still envy the high life

[Chorus]
Good girl in New York
You won't get too far
Hold on to your heart
You're not a star
Good girl in New York
Try not to stay poor
We all want grandeur
You're not a star

[Bridge]
I dive in, but I can't swim
I can't swim
I dive in but I can't swim
I can't swim

[Chorus]
Good girl in New York
You won't get too far
Hold on to your heart
You're not a star
Good girl in New York
Try not to stay poor
We all want grandeur
You're not a star
Good girl in New York
You won't get too far
Hold on to your heart
You're not a star
Good girl in New York
Try not to stay poor
We all want grandeur
You're not a star
