Every night I'm having the same old dreams  About you and me, and what our lives could be    Gonna make a move, gonna blow this joint  We're outta there, 'cause this ain't no career  Followin' the signs, gonna show you this boy can do it right    "And now the story goes"    Time went by, city's eatin' us alive  I won't lie, don't know if we'll get by    Givin' all I've got just ain't enough  In this place, they call the human race  How could I be so blind, from the feelings  Feelings I had inside "Just too hard"    New York you let me down last night  Never seen the light  New York you let me down last night  New York you let me down last night  Bit off more than I can chew  New York you let me down, let me down last night    Don't look back, is what they always say  Lost this time, gonna leave it all behind    Guess I'll head back home  Gonna pack our bags we're out of here  'Cause this was no career    New York you let me down last night  Never seen the light  New York you let me down last night  New York you let me down last night  Bit off more than I can chew  New York you let me down, let me down last night    I've finally given'up  Have to get away    New York you let me down last night  Won't go without a fight  New York you let me down, let me down let me down last night
