| New York girl, ooh, ooh, ooh
|
| Runnin' pretty, New York City girl
|
| 25, 35, hello, baby
|
| New York City girl
|
| You grew up ridin' the subways, running with people
|
| Up in Harlem, down on Broadway
|
| You’re no tramp but you’re no lady
|
| Talkin' that street talk
|
| You’re the heart and soul of New York City
|
| And love
|
| Love is just a passing word
|
| It’s the thought that you had
|
| In a taxicab that got left on the curb
|
| When he dropped you off at East 83rd
|
| Oh, oh, oh (Oh, oh, oh)
|
| You’re a native New Yorker
|
| You should know the score by now (you should know by now)
|
| You’re a native New Yorker
|
| (New York girl, ooh, ooh, ooh)
|
| Music plays, everyone’s dancin' closer and closer
|
| Makin' friends and findin' lovers
|
| There you are, lost in the shadows
|
| Searchin' for someone (searchin' for someone)
|
| To set you free from New York City
|
| And, whoa
|
| Where did all those yesterdays go?
|
| When you still believed
|
| Love could really be like a Broadway show
|
| You were the star, when did it close?
|
| Oh, oh, oh (Oh, oh, oh)
|
| You’re a native New Yorker
|
| No one opens the door
|
| For a native New Yorker
|
| (Runnin' pretty, New York City girl)
|
| (Ooh, ooh, ooh
|
| Native, native, native, ooh)
|
| (Where did all those yesterdays go?
|
| When you still believed
|
| Love could really be like a Broadway show
|
| You were the star)
|
| You’re a native New Yorker
|
| You should know the score by now
|
| You’re a native New Yorker
|
| You should know the score
|
| You should know the score by now
|
| You’re a native New Yorker
|
| Oh, oh, oh
|
| (Native, native, native, native New Yorker)
|
| You’re a native New Yorker
|
| Whoa, oh-oh-oh
|
| You’re a native New Yorker
|
| You should know the score
|
| (Native, native, native, native New Yorker)
|
| You’re a native New Yorker
|
| What you waitin' for?
|
| No one opens the door
|
| (You're a native New Yorker) |
