New York City Lyrics

Oh yeah (whisper)
I'm getting pretty bored
And I want to get out
I'm getting pretty angry, Man
And it's no good to shout
Will I catch a bus
Or will I catch a train
I need out now baby
Cuz I'm going insane

I wanna go to New York City
Cuz they tell me it's the place to be
Ah I wanna go to New York City
I just know that it's the place for me

I'm getting pretty tired
Of going downtown
You know the same trip everyday
It's kinda bringing me down
Will I get out
Well I wonder how
I gotta get it movin' Man
I gotta move it right now

I wanna go to New York City
Cuz they tell me it's the place to be
Ah I wanna go to New York City
I just know that it's the place for me

I'm getting pretty tired
And I want to get out
I'm getting pretty angry, Man
And it's no good to shout
I'm getting fucking pissed off
You know I'm tired of going downtown
You know the same trip everyday
It's kinda bringing me down

I wanna go to New York City
Cuz they tell me it's the place to be
Ah I wanna go to New York City
I just know that it's the place for me

I wanna go to New York City
Cuz they tell me it's the place to be
Ah I wanna go to New York City
I just know that it's the place for me

Oh Yeah

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.
