Lyrics

NY Is Killing Me

New York is killing me

Do-don't you-, don't you-, don't you-, don't you know

Killing me

Fast city livin' ain't all it's cracked up to be
Lord, have mercy, mercy on me

New York is killing, killing-
New York is killing, killing-
New York is killing me
Do-don't you-, don't you-, don't you-, don't you know

Killing me

Do-don't you-, don't you-, don't you-, don't you-

Killing, killing-

Fast city livin' ain't all it's cracked up to be
Lord, have mercy, mercy on me

New York is killing, killing-
New York is killing, killing-
New York is killing me
Do-don't you know

New York is killing, killing-
Killing me
