It can only lead to trouble if you break my heart
If you accidentally crush it on the ides of March
I`d prefer you were straight forward
You don`t have to go through all of that
I`m a New York city man, baby
Say go and that is that
New York city man, you just say go and that is that
I`m a New York city man, you just say go and that is that
It`s far too complicated to make up a lie
That you`d have to remember and really why
I wouldn`t want to be around you
If you don`t want to have me around
I`m a M-A-N-N man
Slink your eyes and I`ll gone
I`m a M-A-N-N man, slink your eyes, honey, I love you, and I`ll gone
New York city man, slink your eyes and I`ll gone
Brutus made a pretty speech but Caesar was betrayed
Lady Macbeth went crazy but Macbeth ended slain
Ophelia and Desdamona dead leaving Hamlet in a play
But I`m no Lear with blinded eyes
Say go and I am gone
The stars have shut their eyes up tight
The earth has changed it`s course
A Kingdom sits on a black knight`s back
As he tries to mount a white jeweled horse
While a clock full of butterflies on the hour
Releases a thousand moths
You say leave and I`ll be gone
Without any remorse
No letters faxes phones or tears
There`s a difference between
Bad and worse
I`m a New York city man, blink your eyes and I`ll be gone
New York city - man, blink your eyes and I`ll be gone
New York city, I love you, New York city man
New York city, I love you, blink your eyes and I`ll be gone
Just a little grain of sand
New York city, ooohhh, I love you
New York city, baby, blink your eyes and I`ll be gone
I love you
