By love I wish I had
Well I spend my nights in the city's lights
And things don't seem so bad
You know the movement seems to soothe me
And the tempo takes control
And I loss my blues when the New York City Rhythm fills my soul
It's the New York City Rhythm runnin' thru my life
The poundin' beat of the city's streets
That keep my dreams alive
I'm lost, I'm found
I'm up, I'm down
But somehow I survive
It's got to be the New York City Rhythm in my life
It's got to be the New York City Rhtym in my life
In my life
When I'm out for love or sin
Oh it's good to be in town
In the funky dives, on the old West Side
There's always something goin' down
Yes, I live my life with strangers
And the danger's always there
But when I hit Broadway and it's time to play
And you know that I don't care
Cause it's the New York City rhythm runnin thru my life
The poundin' beat of the city's streets
That keeps my dreams alive
I'm lost, I'm found
I'm up ,I'm down
But some how I survive
It's got to be the New York City rhythm in my life
Oh It's got to be the New York City rhythm in my life
In my life
Oh got to,got to,got to be
You know the movement seems to soothe me
And the tempo makes me high
Its got to be the New York City rhythm in my life
Oh its got to be the New York City rhythm in my life
In my life
Oh got to, got to, got to be
The city in my life
