I' ll be making love with my baby in the Chelsea hotel

I told you to meet me at eight o'clock

said I' d be drinking in the bar

I drove between Newark and la Guardia

trying to return a rented car

we've been missing connections today 

but tomorrow would be just as well

I gotta go make love with my baby at the Chelsea hotel

I've been walking all around your neighborhood

my former love

it seems as far away and as sad to me 

as those rain clouds above

I hope you're happy in what ever you're doing

I hope your doing well

and please don't try to contact me at the Chelsea hotel

I was starting to think

the world was going to end when the calendar turns

and now you're here I see the future baby 

and they can let the calendar burn

new love is beautiful

but new love is sad

new love brings back all the old loves

that you've ever had

I put out a casting call

you cast a spell

and we're practicing for the millennium making love at the Chelsea hotel

so who knows what tomorrow brings

but I know where I'll be waking up

let's just listen to our breath tonight

and the breeze through the window that you opened up

can you feel our hearts beating

which is yours, which is mine, who can tell

just another day of making love at the Chelsea hotel

just another day of making love at the Chelsea hotel
