New York Lyrics

[Intro]
Ooh

[Verse 1]
Five drinks in on Friday night
We only came to dry your eyes
And get you out of your room
And now this bar has closed its doors
I found my hand is holding yours
Do you wanna go home so soon?

[Pre-Chorus]
Or maybe we should take a ride through the night
And sing along to every song that's on the radio
In the back of a taxi cab in Brooklyn
Oh, no, no, the sun could rise
Burnin' all the street lamps out at 3AM
So DJ, play it again

[Chorus]
Until the night turns into mornin', you'll be in my arms
We'll just keep drivin' along the boulevard
And if I kissed you, darlin', please, don't be alarmed
It's just the start of everything if you want
A new love in New York
[Verse 2]
Yesterday, gave me a call, stressing out about it all
Said, "The world is moving too fast"
And you don't know where to begin
'Cause you've spent a lifetime fittin' in
Only to wind up on the other side by yourself

[Pre-Chorus]
And every day, screamin' out
To all the people that you used to know
From a window that looks upon Manhattan skyline
It's just the way that life goes
And you hear it in every song you know
So DJ, play it again

[Chorus]
Until the night turns into mornin', you'll be in my arms
We'll just keep drivin' along the boulevard
And if I kissed you, darlin', please, don't be alarmed
It's just the start of everything if you want
A new life in New York

[Bridge]
And every song that plays is just like the day you had
And it's okay to cry, but I'm saying maybe that's a waste of water
You know I'm here for ya in the back of the taxi cab tonight
[Chorus]
In New York, it's just reached the mornin' and you still in my arms
And we stopped driving down the boulevard
And I just kissed you, darlin', I hope you weren't alarmed
It's just the start of everything that you want
A new love in New York

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
