New York Is a Woman (Acoustic Version)

[Verse 1]

New York City spread herself before you

With her bangles and her spangles and her stars

You were impressed

With the city so undressed

Had to go out cruising all the bars

[Verse 2]

Your business trip extended through the weekend

Suburban boy here for your first time

From the twenty-seventh floor

Above the Midtown roar

You were startled by her beauty and her crime

[Pre-Chorus]

And she's every girl you've seen in every movie

She's every dame you've ever known on late night TV

In her steam and steel is the passion you feel

Endlessly

[Chorus]

New York is a woman

She'll make you cry

And to her you're just another guy

[Verse 3]

Look down and see her ruined places

Smoke and ash still rising to the sky

She's happy that you're here

But when you disappear

She won't know that you're gone to say goodbye

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]

New York is a woman

She'll make you cry

And to her you're just another guy

[Pre-Chorus]

And she's every girl you've seen in every movie

She's every dame you've ever known on late night TV

In her steam and steel is the passion you feel

Desperately

[Chorus]

New York is a woman

She'll make you cry

And to her you're just another guy
