Black Box - Native New Yorker lyrics

rate me

New York style, style, style

New York city, New York city girl

New York city, New York city girl

You grew up ridin' the subways,

Runnin' 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 you had in a taxi cab that got left on the curb

When he dropped you off at East and the Third

Oh, oh, oh

You're a native New Yorker

You should know the score by now

You're a native New Yorker

The music plays, 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 oh, 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?

Oh, oh, oh

You're a native New Yorker

No more hope is the door

For a native New Yorker

Oh, oh, oh

You're a native New Yorker

You should know the score by now

You're a native New Yorker

New York city, New York city girl

New York city, New York city girl
