New York Lyrics

You said it just right I never stay
Long enough to fight I just run away
And it's you my love it's you I'm running from

You were mistaken you are to blame
Lately I've taken to getting my own way
Yes, it's you my love it's you I'm running from

I'll be in New York send for me when you want more
I'll be in New York without you like before

I'm never lonely off making trails
Passed on the only woman dressed in veil
Oh, it's you my love it's you I'm running from

When your bed's empty will I appear
In dreams you so badly wish could draw me near
Oh, it's you my love it's you I'm running from

I'll be in New York send for me when you want more
I'll be in New York without you like before

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.
