[length: 03:46]
[00:28.22]Well, I shuffled through the city on the 4th of July
[00:30.26]I had a firecracker waiting to blow
[00:32.88]Breakin’ like a robber who was makin’ his way
[00:34.83]To the cities of Mexico
[00:37.49]Lived in an apartment out on Avenue A
[00:39.35]I had a tar-hut on the corner of 10th
[00:41.86]Had myself a lover who was finer than gold
[00:43.71]But I’ve been broken up and busted up since
[00:46.19]And love don’t play any games with me
[00:50.17]Anymore like she did before
[00:55.09]The world won’t wait, so I better shake
[00:59.41]That thing right out there through the door
[01:02.41]Hell, I still love you, New York
[01:13.13]Found myself a picture that would fit in the folds
[01:15.40]Of my wallet and it stayed pretty good
[01:17.47]Still amazed I didn’t lose it on the roof of the place
[01:19.63]When I was drunk and I was thinking of you
[01:22.14]Every day the children they were singing their tune
[01:24.25]Out on the streets and you could hear from inside
[01:26.71]Used to take the subway up to Houston and 3rd
[01:28.72]I would wait for you and I’d try to hide
[01:30.94]And love won’t play any games with you
[01:35.00]Anymore if you don’t want ’em to
[01:39.95]The world won’t wait and I watched you shake
[01:44.33]But honey, I don’t blame you
[01:47.28]Hell, I still love you, New York
[01:56.51]Hell, I still love you, New York
[02:02.53]New York
[02:07.33]I remember Christmas in the blistering cold
[02:09.53]In a church on the upper west side
[02:11.92]Babe, I stood their singing, I was holding your arm
[02:14.15]You were holding my trust like a child
[02:16.68]Found a lot of trouble out on Avenue B
[02:18.51]But I tried to keep the overhead low
[02:21.28]Farewell to the city and the love of my life
[02:23.29]At least we left before we had to go
[02:25.86]And love won’t play any games with you
[02:29.84]Anymore if you want ’em to
[02:34.90]So we better shake this old thing out the door
[02:39.14]I’ll always be thinkin’ of you
[02:42.11]I’ll always love you though New York
[02:47.10]I’ll always love you though New York, New York, New York
