New York Is A Woman

New York Is A Woman - Suzanne Vega (蘇珊·薇格)

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

Your business trip extended through the weekend

Suburban boy here for your first time

From the 27th floor

Above the midtown roar

You were starled by her beauty and her crime

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

Every dame you've ever known on late night tv

In her steam

And steel

Is the passion you feel

Endlessly

New york is a woman she'll make you cry

And to her you're just another guy

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

New york is a woman she'll make you cry

And to her you're just another guy

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

Every dame you've ever known on late night tv

In her steam

And steel

Is the passion you feel

Desperately

New york is a woman she'll make you cry

And to her you're just another guy
