Here in the streets so mechanised
Rise to the bottom of the meaning of life
Studied all the rules and I want no part
But I let you in just to break this heart
Even though it was only one night it was
Fucking strange
Nina's in the bedroom
She said time to go now
But leavin', it ain't easy
I've got to let go
Oh I've got to let go
And the hours they ran slow
I said every night she just can't stop sayin'
New York City Cops, New York City Cops
New York City Cops, They ain't too smart
New York City Cops, New York City Cops
New York City Cops, They ain't too smart
Oh, kill me now cos I let you down
I swear one day I'm gonna leave this town
Stop
Yes I'm leavin'
Cos this just won't work
They act like Romans
But they dress like Turks
Sometime, in your prime
See me, I like the summertime
but hey...
Nina's in the bedroom
She said time to go now
Oh leavin', it aint easy
I've got to let go
Oh I've got to let go
Oh
Trapped in an apartment
She would not let them get her
She wrote it in a letter
Oh I've got to come clean
I'm done with this scene
And darling I'm somewhere in between
I said every night, she just can't stop sayin'
New York City Cops, New York City Cops
New York City Cops, They ain't too smart
New York City Cops, New York City Cops
New York City Cops, They ain't too smart
You said you couldn't stay
You'd seen it all before
I know
They sold you on their way
Oh honey that's ok
No harm, he's armed
Setting off all your alarms
When I find out
I hope it's you who set this trap
And storefronts rarely change
At least I'm on my own again instead of
Anywhere with you
Oh tell me it's all the same
And I've lost my place again
I know this is so rare
But I'll try my luck with you
This life is on my side
Oh I am your one
Believe me, this is a chance
Ohhhh
Let's see what is for sale
He's trying hard to give his job a chance
It's never gonna be
It's sad, but I agree
The signals don't seem right
It lasts for just one night, and then
I'm sorry that I said
That we were just good friends
No harm, he's armed
Setting off all your alarms
Entranced, I can't
Be here in time I'll think about that
And I've lost my page again
I know this is so rare
But I'll try my luck with you
This life is on my side
Well I am your one
Believe me, this is a chance
Ohhhh
Leave me alone
I'm in control, I'm in control
Girls act too much
And boys act too tough
Enough is enough
Well on the minds of other men I know she was
I said just take it or leave it, And take it or leave it
And take it or leave it And take it or leave it
Oh just take it or leave it , And take it or leave it
Oh take it
I say, he's gonna let you down
He's gonna let you down
He's gonna let you down
And gonna break your back, for a chance
And gonna steal your friends, if he can
He's gonna win someday
I fell off the track
Now I can't go back
I'm not like that
Boys act too much
Girls act too tough
Enough is enough
Well on the minds of other girls I know he was
I said just take it or leave it
And take it or leave it, And take it or leave it
And take it or leave it
Oh just take it or leave it And take it or leave it, Oh take it
I say, he's gonna let you down
He's gonna let you down
He's gonna let you down
And gonna break your back, for a chance
And gonna steal your friends, if he can
He's gonna win someday
Oh he will.
