Ow, I meant ah
No, I din`t mean that at all

Here in the streets of American nights
Rise to the bottom of the meaning of life
Studied all the rules didn`t want no part
But I let you in just to break this heart
Even though it was only one night
It was f**king strange

Nina`s in the bedroom
She said, "Time to go now"
But leavin` it ain`t easy
I got to let go, I 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
But they ain`t too smart"

"New York City cops
New York City cops
New York City cops
But they ain`t too smart"

Well, kill me now `cause I let you down
I swear one day we gonna leave this town
Stop! Yes I`m leavin`, `cause it just won`t work
And, they act like Romans, but they dress like Turks
Sometime, in your prime
See me, I like the summertime

Nina`s in the bedroom
She said, "Time to go now"
But leavin` it ain`t easy
I got to let go, I got to let go, oh

Trapped in an apartment
She would not let them get her
She wrote it in a letter
I got to come clean the authorities they`ve seen
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
But they ain`t too smart"

"New York City cops
New York City cops
New York City cops
But they ain`t too smart"
