歌词
I grew up riding the subways
Running with people
Up in Harlem, down on Broadway
I'm no tramp, but I ain't no lady
I'm talking that street talk
With the heart and soul of New York City
To me, to me love is just a passing word
It's a thought I had in a taxi cab that got me left on the curb
When you dropped me off on East 83rd
But that's alright, baby
Well, I'm a native New Yorker (native, native New Yorker)
And I know the score by now
I'm a native New Yorker (native, native New Yorker)
Music plays, everyone's dancing (dancing)
Closer and closer
Making friends and finding lovers
There you are, lost in the shadows
Searching for someone
To set you free from New York City
Where did all your yesterdays go? (Where did they go?)
When you still believe that love could
Really be just like a Broadway show
You were the star, when did you close?
But that's alright
I'm a native New Yorker (native, native New Yorker)
And I know the score by now
I'm a native New Yorker (native, native New Yorker)
Music plays, everyone's dancing (dancing)
Closer and closer
Making friends and finding lovers
There you are, lost in the shadows
Searching for someone
To set you free from New York City
Where, where did all your yesterdays go? (Where did they go?)
When you still believe that love was just like a Broadway show
You were the star, when did you close?
But that's alright
I'm a native New Yorker (native, native New Yorker)
And I know the score by now
I'm a native New Yorker (native, native New Yorker)
I've been around here, baby
Riding the A train
Up in Harlem, down on Broadway
And I know the score by now
'Cause I'm a native New Yorker, yeah (native, native New Yorker)
You came here yesterday, hey
Ooh, but you gotta be here for a minute or more, you understand?
New York City
And oh, love, it don't mean nothing to me
It's just a thought I had in that taxi, taxi cab
(Native, native New Yorker)
(Native, native New Yorker)
