Il testo della New york

From the shores of the mediterranean
All the way to new york city
It's bloody expensive to livin' at town
And i found out the hard way
But i almost had it all

Was it washington square
Or the way you wore you hair?
Was it central park
Or kissing after dark?

Guess i'll never know
Not sure i even care
But my heart will always live
With you and me there

But i can't afford to live in new york city
And she can't afford to leave
I can't afford to live in new york city
But she can't afford to leave
But god, i miss her

Was it the sea port in june
Or your face by the moon?
Was it soho's charm
Or you and i, arm in arm?

Was it the 6 train uptown
Or true love that i found?
It all blends into one
When i think of you now

And i can't afford to live in new york city
But she can't afford to leave
I can't afford to live in new york city
But she can't afford to leave

Well, i know that
A promise is to keep
But money's tight
And i've been losing sleep

Old man circumstance
Will have his way, it's true
Ooh, what i wouldn't give
To stay here with you

But i can't afford to live in new york city
She can't afford to leave
I can't afford to live in new york city
But she can't afford to leave

And i've never been good
With good-byes
But good-byes
Are all i have

And i can't afford to live in new york city
And i'm pulling out of here
Is there anything that i can say
To make you change your mind
