Every night I'm having the same old dreams
About you and me, and what our lives could be

Gonna make a move, gonna blow this joint
We're outta there, 'cause this ain't no career
Followin' the signs, gonna show you this boy can do it right

"And now the story goes"

Time went by, city's eatin' us alive
I won't lie, don't know if we'll get by

Givin' all I've got just ain't enough
In this place, they call the human race
How could I be so blind, from the feelings
Feelings I had inside "Just too hard"

New York you let me down last night
Never seen the light
New York you let me down last night
New York you let me down last night
Bit off more than I can chew
New York you let me down, let me down last night

Don't look back, is what they always say
Lost this time, gonna leave it all behind

Guess I'll head back home
Gonna pack our bags we're out of here
'Cause this was no career

New York you let me down last night
Never seen the light
New York you let me down last night
New York you let me down last night
Bit off more than I can chew
New York you let me down, let me down last night

I've finally given'up
Have to get away

New York you let me down last night
Won't go without a fight
New York you let me down, let me down let me down last night
