When my heart is torn apart
By love I wish I had
Well, I spend my nights in the city's lights
And things don't seem so bad
Ya know the movement seems to soothe me
And the temp takes control
And I lose my blues
When the Ne w York City rhythm fill my soul

It's the New York City rhythm
Runnin' thru' my life
The pounding beat of the city streets
That keeps mydreams alive
I'm lost, I'm found, I'm up, I'm down
But somehow I survive
It's got to be the New York City
Rhythm in my life
It's got to be the New York City
Rhythm in my life, in my life

When I'm out for love or sin
Oh, it's good to be in town
In the funky dives on the old west sid
There's always somethin' goin' down
Oh yes , I live my life with strangers
And the danger's always there
But when I hit Broadway and it's time to play
Ya know that I don't care
Chorus
