The Queen Of New York City

Verse 1

It's such a simple thing, I think you ought to know

If I can't keep you close, I better let us go

It's nothin' personal, I think you ought to know

But since we're down to zeros, I just had to let it show

Pre-Chorus

But I still remember how it used to feel

Back when everything was real

Verse 2

You were walkin' 'round like the queen of New York City

Everyone was saying, "She's so smart, she's so pretty!"

And I was your biggest fan, babe, and I'd never admit it

But I can see now, you were never really with it

Pre-Chorus

It's just a funny thing, I think you ought to know

I guess you had to leave before I'd ever let you go

I guess it's just the way it goes, I think you ought to know

I tried to tell myself, but darling, everyone else knows

Chorus

But do you remember how it used to feel?

Back when you were something real?

(Back when you were something real)

But do you remember how it used to feel?

Back when you were something real?

(Back when you were something real)

Outro

Well, it's just a simple thing, I think you ought to know

I guess I'm gonna have to watch you walk away

And you can keep on lookin' like the queen of New York City

While I'm just a guy who thinks you're so smart and pretty
