I ♥ NY

I wanna see the Big Apple The bright lights of Times Square There's nothing home but gravel roads And a boring county fair I wanna see the skyline And buildings touching clouds ‘Cause here the tallest thing we got Is the water tower downtown I wanna see the Statue, The Fifth Avenue, Broadway lights At home it’s just Walmart And pointless high school football On dreary Friday nights ...Does it smell like apples? ...Or maybe cigarettes? It’s a city of happiness At least that's what I read I'm gonna go to New York City I’ll stand out in the crowd I'm gonna go to New York City And make my mama proud They got museums and cafés And people dressed in style I'm gonna go to New York City And stay there for a while I wanna try a real bagel From a corner deli stand And hail a yellow taxi By raising up my hand I heard you can find true love there Just by walking down the street Like in those romantic movies Where strangers' eyes first meet Mama says I'm day-dreaming Daddy says I'm naïve and young But I've been saving every dollar Since I turned twenty-one I heard the subway runs all night No one ever goes to bed They dance in clubs till sunrise That's what the magazines said I'm gonna go to New York City Where the whole world can be found I'm gonna go to New York City Gonna make my mama proud They got theaters and fancy bars And rooftops under the stars I'm gonna go to New York City Yeah, I'm gonna go to New York City I love, I love New York City I wanna make it my own I've heard so many things about it I'd like to make it my home
