Was it Washington Square 
Or the way you wore you hair? 
Was it central park 
Or kissing after dark? 
Guess I'll never know 
Not sure I even care 
But my heart will always live 
With you and me there 

But I can't afford to live in N.Y.C. 
Ahahahah 
And she can't afford to leave 
hahah 
Was it the Sea Port in June 
Or your face by the moon? 
Was it Soho's charm 
Or you and I arm in arm? 
Was it the 6 train uptown 
Or true love that I found? 
It all blends into one 
When I think of you now 

But I can't afford to live in N.Y.C. 
Ahahahah 
And she can't afford to leave 
Ahahah 

Well I know that a promise is to keep 
But money's tight and I've been losing sleep 
Old Man Circumstance will have his way 
It's true 
But what I wouldn't give to stay here with you 

And I can't afford to live in N.Y.C. 
Ahahahah 
And she can't afford to leave 
Ahahah 

And I've never been good with good-byes 
But good-byes are all I have
