New York Lyrics - St. Vincent

New York isn't New York without you, love 

So far in a few blocks, to be so low 

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
