Native New Yorker Lyrics
Runnin' pretty, New York City girl (twenty-five, thirty-five)
Hello, baby, New York City girl
You grew up ridin' the subways, running with people
Up in Harlem, down on Broadway
You're no tramp, but you're no lady, talkin' that street talk
You're the heart and soul of New York City
And love, love is just a passing word
It's the thought you had in a taxi cab that got left on the curb
When he dropped you off on East 83rd
Oh, oh, oh (oh, oh, oh)
You're a native New Yorker
You should know the score by now (you should know by now)
You're a native New Yorker
(New York, ooh, ooh, ooh)
Music plays, everyone's dancin' closer and closer
Makin' friends and findin' lovers
There you are lost in the shadows, searchin' for someone (searchin' for someone)
To set you free from New York City
And, whoa, where did all those yesterdays go
When you still believed love could really be like a Broadway show
You were the star, when did it close?
Oh, oh, oh (oh, oh, oh)
You're a native New Yorker
No one opens the door
For a native New Yorker
(Runnin' pretty, New York City girl)
Where did all those yesterdays go
When you still believed love could really be like a Broadway show
You're the star
You're a native New Yorker
You should know the score by now
You're a native New Yorker
You should know the score, you should know the score by now
You're a native New Yorker, oh, oh, oh (native, native, native, native New Yorker)
You're a native New Yorker
You're a native New Yorker
You should know the score (native, native, native, native New Yorker)
You're a native New Yorker
What you waitin' for, no one opens the door (you're a native New Yorker)
For a native, for a native New Yorker
Hello, baby, New York City girl
Up in Harlem, down on Broadway
You're no tramp, but you're no lady, talkin' that street talk
You're the heart and soul of New York City
It's the thought you had in a taxi cab that got left on the curb
When he dropped you off on East 83rd
You're a native New Yorker
You should know the score by now (you should know by now)
You're a native New Yorker
Makin' friends and findin' lovers
There you are lost in the shadows, searchin' for someone (searchin' for someone)
To set you free from New York City
When you still believed love could really be like a Broadway show
You were the star, when did it close?
You're a native New Yorker
No one opens the door
For a native New Yorker
When you still believed love could really be like a Broadway show
You're the star
You should know the score by now
You're a native New Yorker
You're a native New Yorker, oh, oh, oh (native, native, native, native New Yorker)
You're a native New Yorker
You should know the score (native, native, native, native New Yorker)
You're a native New Yorker
For a native, for a native New Yorker

The lyric "When you still believed love could really be like a Broadway show You are the star, win the applause"
Should read "When you still believed love could really be like a Broadway show You were the star, when did it close?
This is a great song.
Yes, this is a great song and a really sad song.
Lyric correction: When he dropped you off at East 83rd (rather than he stated firm).
It's a beautiful song though 'Where did all those yesterday's go When you still believed love could really be like a Broadway show' (How true, absolutely beautiful lyrics)
