On the banks of the My love and I lay Just 42nd Street While the rain was pouring
I covered her with kisses The sparks lit up her We made love like mad the Jersey trucks rolled by
She said, "Don't you leave me Oh, for god don't let me down" So I made her all kinds of About how I'd be around
But the speed was rippin' my head I'd only one on my mind So goodbye my on 42nd street If I don't get out of here, I'm die
On the of the Hudson My love and I lay Just one more midnight left to Then I'm New York town
I could feel the ice man in I could smell his gun But that 20 grand I him out of Would help me start back home
And she said, "Don't you leave me Oh, for god don't let me down Then I thought what they'd do to her When found out I'd left town
But the fire was racin' my brain I'd one thing on my mind So my love on 42nd Street If I don't get out of here, I'm die
Don't say I have stayed with her You don't the full story about the girl I used her just as much as she used me But sometimes you just gotta get out of New York
On the banks of the My love and I lay Just above 42nd While the rain was down
I covered her with kisses The sparks lit up her We made love mad angels While the Jersey trucks by
And she said, "Don't you leave me Oh, for god don't let me down" But how could I take A black girl back to town
Just then the streets of fire to blood A yellow Cadillac by And as I raced up Street The ice man shouted, "Hey Paddy, it's to die"
It's to time to It's to ...
