  The days  were long and the night  so cold,
  The pages  turn and the tale  unfolds,
  He left  me for,  another lady.
  She stood  so tall and she never  slept,
  There was not  one moment he could  regret,
  He 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.
  Her name was New  York, New York,
  And she took  his heart away  from mine,
  Her name was New  York, New York,
  She had poisoned  his sweet mind,
   Mm .. mm .. mmmm.
  The wolves  they howl for my  lost soul,
  I  fell down a deep  black hole,
  He left  me for,  another lady,
  She poured  the drinks and she poured  the power,
  Diamond  girl who could talk  for hours,
  He 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.
  Her name was New  York, New York,
  And she took  his heart away  from mine,
  Her name was New  York, New York,
  She had poisoned  his sweet mind.
  The greatest  times, I don't  want to hear it,
  Your new  life tonight, I don't  want to hear it,
  The newfound  friends she introduced  you to,
  I don't  want to know them I just wanna  be with you,
  Please  don't make me go  to,
  New  York___________, New York,
  She took  your heart away  from mine,
  Her name was New  York, New York,
  She poisoned  your sweet mind,
  Her name was New  York, New York,
  She took  your heart away  from mine,
  Her name was New  York, New York,
  She poisoned  your sweet mind,
  She poisoned  your sweet mind.
