Lyrics New York - St. Vincent

New York isn't New York without you, love
So far in a few blocks, to be so low
And if I call you from First Avenue
Well, you're the only motherfucker in the city who can handle me

New love wasn't true love, back to you, love
So much for a home run with some blue bloods
If I last-strawed you on 8th Avenue
Where you're the only motherfucker in the city who can stand me

I have lost a hero, I have lost a friend
But for you, darling, I'd do it all again
I have lost a hero, I have lost a friend
But for you, darling, I'd do it all again

New York isn't New York without you, love
Too few of our old crew left on Astor
So if I trade our 'hood for some Hollywood
Where you're the only motherfucker in the city who would-
Only motherfucker in the city who would-
Only motherfucker in the city who'd forgive me

I have lost a hero, I have lost a friend
But for you, darling, I'd do it all again
I have lost a hero, I have lost a friend
But for you, darling, I'd do it all again
