Listen to the song and fill in the blanks

New York is a woman


New York City spread herself before you
With her and her and her
You were impressed with the city so undressed
You to go out cruising all the

Your business trip extended through the weekend
Suburban boy here for your first time
From the 27th floor above the midtown roar
You were by her beauty and her crime

And she’s every girl you’ve seen in every movie
Every dame you’ve ever known on late night TV
In her steam and steel is the you feel
Endlessly
New York is a woman she’ll make you cry
And to her you’re just another guy

Look down and see her ruined places
Smoke and still rising to the sky
She’s that you’re here but when you disappear
She won’t know that you’re gone to say goodbye

And she’s every girl you’ve seen in every movie
Every dame you’ve ever known on late night TV
In her steam and steel is the you feel
Endlessly
New York is a woman she’ll make you cry
And to her you’re just another guy.
