Lock the windows the gates on
Taxi in the distance coming along
Stalking the streets till the break of day
New York beauty take my breath away
Near some cats but dogs don't bark
Cool cats strolling after dark
G# C# G# D# x2
Watch the watch...
Shaky lock and kicky door
Smokey air that I adore
Down in the alley is where I hunt
All is quiet on the eastern front
Stalking the street till the break of day
New York beauty take my breath away

Which turned into a whole romance
FAnd after Gjust one night
I never thought that things could be so right
FOh no-no Gno no no-no Cno Am
I kissed and hugged her and I said goodbye
Last thing I knew she wouldn't make it alive
Oncoming car went out of control
It crushed my baby and it crushed my soul
Now all I got is sorrow and pain
Standing out here in the rain
The crash, shattering glass, the sirens and pain
It's driving me insane
Oh yeah we was young and in love
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah we was young and in love
And you're the only girl I'm ever thinking of no G here
