New York City Lyrics

New York City
You're so pretty
All your faces
Going places

I believe if you fall in love
I believe if you fall in love
You should jump right in

Always going
Faster, modem
Cell phone fables
Candle-lit tables

I believe if you fall in love
I believe if you fall in love
You should jump right in

I wrote our initials in the sidewalk cement
Tattoed your name across my arm for all to see
I wanna sing about it, sing about it, sing about it
I've got your back from now on baby you can count on me

Only one life
Kisses all night
Kids 'round fountains
Concrete mountains

I believe if you fall in love
I believe if you fall in love
You should jump right in

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Its funny that this song has no comments when this is probably his most commercial style song. It's about him loving New York simply because of how much he loves his significant lover and screaming to all that love is great.
