NY Lady

That girl is danger with a capital D.
And she's no stranger;
No stranger than me.
You see the way she walks and talks,
It's almost like she knows.
That people want her for just one thing,
And that does not involve her clothes.

Flashy cars and movie stars,
Dance clubs and martini bars,
Taking pills that send her out to Mars.
She's my New York lady.

All the respect that you get
From people you haven't met
Doing things you soon regret.
New York lady.
People look up to you.
No matter what it is you do.
Always reading something new.
About my lady.

When she shows up
The party turns on.
Keeps a hundred dollar bill in her pocket
For when the snowstorm comes.
If you try to get any closer
You’d just be turned away;
You can only get that number
If you're ready to pay.

Looking good with with a flash ? tan.
Strike a pose with your new man,
Front and center at the news stand.
She's my New York lady.

All the respect that you get
From people you haven't met
Doing things you soon regret.
New York lady.
People look up to you
No matter what it is you do.
Always reading something new
About my lady.

That girl is danger to the tenth degree.
And she's no stranger; No stranger than me.
Shopping free with Daddy's credit cards.
Private entertaining bodyguards.
Paid title and armored cars.

Of the respect that you get
From people you haven't met
Doing things you soon regret.
New York lady.
People look up to you
No matter what it is you do.
Always reading something new
About my lady.

It is the meaning of church.
With all the pictures of dirt.
As long as no one gets hurt
See my lady.

You never catch anything.
Cause you fall back on your name.
Guess you think life's a game.
New York lady.
