Well, I shuffled through the city on the 4th of July 
I had a firecracker waiting to blow 
Breakin' like a rocket who makin' its way 
To the cities of Mexico 
Lived in an apartment out on Avenue A 
I had a tar-hut on the corner of 10th 
Had myself a lover who was finer than gold 
But I've broken up and busted up since 

And love don't play any games with me 
Anymore like she did before 
The world won't wait, so I better shake 
That thing right out there through the door 
Hell, I still love you, New York 

Found myself a picture that would fit in the folds 
Of my wallet and it stayed pretty good 
Still amazed I didn't lose it on the roof of the place 
When I was drunk and I was thinking of you 
Every day the children they were singing their tune 
Out on the streets and you could hear from inside 
Used to take the subway up to Houston and 3rd 
I would wait for you and I'd try to hide 

And love won't play any games with me 
Anymore if you don't want it to 
The world won't wait and I watched you shake 
But honey, I don't blame you 
Hell, I still love you, New York 
Hell, I still love you, New York 
New York 

I remember Christmas in the blistering cold 
In a church on the upper west side 
Babe, I stood their singing, I was holding your arm 
You were holding my trust like a child 
Found a lot of trouble out on Avenue B 
But I tried to keep the overhead low 
Farewell to the city and the love of my life 
At least we left before we had to go 

And love won't play any games with you 
Anymore if you want 'em to 
So we better shake this old thing out the door 
I'll always be thinkin' of you 
I'll always love you though New York 
I'll always love you though New York, New York, New York
