Take Me Back to Manhattan

The more I travel across the gravel
The more I sail the sea
The more I feel convinced of the fact
New York is the place for me
That crazy skyline is right in my line
And when I'm far away
I'm able to bear it for several hours
Then I break down and say

Take me back to Manhattan
Take me back to New York
I'm just longing to see once more
My little home on the hundredth floor
Can you wonder I'm bloomy?
Can you smile when I frown?
I miss the East Side, the West Side
North Side and the South Side
So take me back to Manhattan
That dear old dirty town

(Take me back to Manhattan)
Take me back to New York
(I'm just longing to see once more)
(My little home on the hundredth floor)
Can you wonder I'm bloomy?
Can you smile when I frown?
(I miss the East Side, the West Side)
(The North Side and the South Side)
So take me back to Manhattan
That dear old dirty town

I miss the East Side, the West Side
The North Side and the South Side
So take me back to Manhattan
That dear old dirty town
(Take me back) Take me back
(Take me back) I wanna go back
To that dear old dirty town

New York has a virtue of liberty
New York has a certain kind of clarity
New York has a Bronx and a Bowery
Dirty town
