Surprise, it's me
It's drunk, I'm three
For a couple hours, the city was my dance floor
And I wander around
Wondering why you don't love me anymore

Surprise, I'm real
I think and feel
And I used to be the person who was somewhere
I can't imagine why I'm wasting quarters on the telephone to say

I got New York all to myself
From the great white way to the West 12th
From the big blue bridge to the Hudson's swells
I've got New York all to myself

The day is gone, the night is too
Everywhere to go but nothing to do
I had a lover once but that fell through
I got New York, but I ain't got you

Got all New York to be lonely in
Got cigarettes and I got gin
And though I feel just like I got no skin
I got New York and the winter wind
