Maybe I should leave her
She done me wrong
She made me a believer
For much too long
I've had enough, had enough
Walking with strangers
The atmosphere tonight makes everyone seem profound
The thought of all money and madness and danger
The energy, feel it coming up from the ground
Ooh
I took home now you should
Whoa, whoa, whoa
It was, was a great kiss
So good
Ooh, no, ooh, no
You took home now you should
Whoa, whoa, whoa
It was, was a great kiss
So good
Ooh, no, ooh, no
You can't have New York
She's a high class whore you can't afford
And you won't live on the park
No doorman to hail taxis for you
And you can't have New York
Gon' get boxed out of uptown if you keep fucking 'round wild
When she starts blinking her eyes
Twinkling her lies
They just ride from Jersey City
Maybe I'm not really cool
And she knew all along
If she don't find you beautiful
You'll never belong
I've had it with, had it with her playing my ego
Convinced me that there ain't no other place worth a damn
She turned me into just another busted negro
Surrounded by a bunch of shit I'm never gon' have
Maybe I should leave her
You can't have her
You can't have her
You can't have her
You can't have her
You can't have her
You can't have her
You can't have her
You can't have her
Maybe I should leave her
She done me wrong
She made me a believer
For much too long
I've had enough, had enough
Walking with strangers
The atmosphere tonight makes everyone seem profound
The thought of all money and madness and danger
The energy, feel it coming up from the ground
Ooh
I took home now you should
Whoa, whoa, whoa
It was, was a great kiss
So good
Ooh, no, ooh, no
You took home now you should
Whoa, whoa, whoa
It was, was a great kiss
So good
Ooh, no, ooh, no
You can't have New York
She's a high class whore you can't afford
And you won't live on the park
No doorman to hail taxis for you
And you can't have New York
Gon' get boxed out of uptown if you keep fucking 'round wild
When she starts blinking her eyes
Twinkling her lies
They just ride from Jersey City
She makes me feel so, so sad
But yet and still she's the best I ever had
She makes me feel so, so sad
But yet and still she's the best I ever had
She makes me feel so, so sad
But yet and still she's the best I ever had
She makes me feel so, so sad
But yet and still she's the best I ever had
She makes me feel so, so sad
But yet and still she's the best I ever had
Baby, I should be dead
Baby, I should be dead
Baby, I should be dead
Baby, I should be dead
