NEW YORK LOVER
It’s the land of the free, so feel free to kiss me
It’s the land of opportunity, so take this opportunity to kiss me
And I will be here when you want me
I will be here when you need me
I will be here for you

Hey Mary, please don’t settle on another
Hey Mary, won’t you be my New York lover?

It’s the land of the proud, and I’m so proud being next to you
It’s the land of the rich, and I feel rich being next to you
And I will be here when you want me
I will be here when you need me
I will be here for you

Hey Mary, please don’t settle on another
Hey Mary, won’t you be my New York lover?

When I get home, why would my feelings change?
​
And I will be here when you want me
I will be here when you need me
I will be here for you
Hey Mary, please don’t settle on another
Hey Mary, won’t you
​
When I get home, why would my feelings change?
