New York (Handles Heartbreak Better)

I'm jealous of the city The way you spend your nights with her They say the girls are very pretty But 22's too young to get hurt And the snow is gently falling And there's presents on the floor But this plane is leaving tomorrow New York handles hearbreak better than you Better than you, you, you Jealous of the pavement The way you call the streets your home No, I won't be negotiated I hope you feel this in your bones You swear you're tired and alone But I hear she's hanging around You say it's love, then show me Cause New York handles hearbreak better than you Better than you, you, you And I've been waiting, loving (?) Swear you're gonna leave her And every christmas time I think of you Yes I do, yes I do Remember we danced, you fumbled your steps But said you'd never let go Remember we cried, for days at a time Oh baby why won't you come home Cause I've been waiting in New York patient for you Oh, for you, you, you It tore me up inside I've been waiting, waiting, waiting (I've been waiting) In those dirty hotel rooms (Waiting) The snow is on the pavements At Rockefeller, too (I've been waiting, waiting) Won't you swear you'll leave her? Baby I ain't lonely New York, New York
