(Verse 1)
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 lady
He 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 go

(Chorus)
Her 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
Mmmm



The 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 lady
Now 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 go
Her 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


(GhostFace Killah Rap)

Please don't make me go to
New York
New York
She took your heart away oh my
Her name was New York, New York
She poisoned your sweet mind
Her 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 mind
She poisoned your sweet mind
