Omnimusic

I saw paper dancing in the street
The streets of New York City
Listen to the beat
Of people stroke their feet
On the funky concrete streets of
The streets of New York City

People moving much too fast
They won't slow down, won't slow on down, down
Slow down in New York City.
Brother can you spare a dime?
I haven't strength to climb
And it seems to hard to find a friend
To find a friend in New York City

Chorus

New York, New York, New York
New York, New York, New York
New York, New York, New York City
Bon chicka bon - get on down now, yeah

Hundred twenty fifth street
Got to make a deal just to feel real
Feel the real beat of New York City
Broadway, your lights make nighttime day
I just can't stay away,
Stay away from New York City

Hey girl, you know I'm funky
And it seems to hard to find a friend
To find a friend in New York City

Chorus

Spoken: "Hey Lady, how you doin', all right? That's good. I haven't seen you in a while. You know, sometimes I think about all those bad times, us fussin' and fightin'. I'm sorry lady."

Chorus
Baby, I won't ask again for your love
Baby, I won't ask again for your love

Verse:
You're running all around
Telling all your friends you gave me up.
I sit waiting for your call
But that call it never comes, so I say,

Chorus

Ooh, you tell me oh so many lies
What you doin' with your time?
People stare at me with shame
They can see that I been crying

Bridge:
I said baby (baby, baby) let's get it together
Clean up your act or I ain't coming back no more.

Chorus

Just tell me if I have a chance
Of making you all mine
Just say the word in case you haven't heard
I've loved you for a lifetime

Bridge 2X

Chorus

No matter what may happen
Or what you do or say
I have come to trust
And believe your loving ways
It doesn't matter 'bout the lovin' times
When you no longer care
It doesn't matter 'bout the good times
When there's nothing left to share

But I still want to be with you
To caress and to hold
To feel your soft movement
Touch your body and your soul
You're special to me, yeah
You're special to me
You're special to me

In a special mystic way
You would always look at me
An everlasting love only
You and I can see
The light of love gone by
Remains a twinkle in your eye
Where has all the laughter gone?
Only sorrow seems to linger on.

CHORUS

The hardest thing to do
Is to try to stop lovin' you.
The hardest thing to do
Is to try to stop lovin' you.
The hardest thing to do
Is to try to stop lovin' you.
All the rules of love I would gladly bend
If just one more night we could spend together.

The hardest thing to do
Is to try to stop lovin' you. (I can't stop lovin' you)
The hardest thing to do
Is to try to stop lovin' you. (I can't stop lovin' you)

Why must we end up
End up being friends
When what you really need is me?
You're just fooling yourself
About wanting someone else
While your heart is still not free

The day that she leaves you
I'll be there to please you
Just waiting for your romance
To show that I'm sorry for letting you go
I'm begging you for a second chance

CHORUS
