The days were long and the nights so cold
The pages turned and the tale unfolds
He'd left me for another lady
She stood so tall and she never slept
There was not one moment he could regret
He'd left me for another lady
He took my hand one day and told me
He was leaving
Me disbelieving
And I I I I I I I I
Had to let him go
And it was was New York, New York
And she took his heart away oh my
And it was New York, New York
She had poisoned his sweet mind
The wolves they howled for my lost soul
I fell down a deep black hole
He'd left me for another lady
She poured the drinks and she poured the power
A diamond girl who could talk for hours
He'd left me for another lady
Now I am on my own
He told me he was leaving
And I was pleading
And I I I I I I I I
Had to let him go
And it was New York, New York
And she took his heart away oh my
And it was was New York, New York
She had poisoned his sweet mind
The greatest times
I don't want to hear it
Your new laughter lines
I don't want to hear it
The new found friends she introduced you to
I don't wanna know them
I just wanna be with you
Please don't make me go to New York
And it was New York, New York
And she took your heart away oh my
And it was New York, New York
She had poisoned your sweet mind
She had poisoned your sweet mind
