NEW YORK, NEW YORK

I’ve always felt like New York is a yoyo
Tied to my finger, I can’t throw her away
But now I see after coming and going
New York’s the only one who ever stays

I am just a toy in her hand
Like a boy who thinks he’s a man
I am just a toy in her hand
She throws me away and I go back again and again…

I’ve always felt like love is for strangers
Soon as you know it, it goes away
I tried to love him despite the danger
And when he left only love remained

I was just a toy in his hand
That boy, he had big plans
I was just a toy in his hand
He threw me away and I went back again and again…

I always feel like I know where I’m going
Even when I don’t know where I am
Every time I’m feeling lonely
New York, New York is where I land

I am just a toy in her hand
And I know our game will never end
I am just a toy in her hand
When she throws me away I know she will hold me again…
When she throws me away I can only think of him…
