hello

baby

new york city girl

you grew up ridin' the subways

running with people

up in harlem

down on broadway

you're no tramp

but you're no lady

talkin' that street talk

you're the heart and soul of new york city

and love

love is just a passing word

it's the thought that you had

in a taxicab that got left on the curb

when he dropped you off at east 83rd

oh

oh

oh

you're a native new yorker

you should know the score by now

you're a native new yorker

new york girl

everyone's dancin' closer and closer

makin' friends and findin' lovers

there you are

lost in the shadows

searchin' for someone

to set you free from new york city

and

whoa

where did all those yesterdays go?

when you still believed

love could really be like a broadway show

you were the star

when did it close?

you're a native new yorker

no one opens the door

for a native new yorker
