New York, surprise me
Twenty-one and I need something
To pick me up out of
The company I run with
Emily just phoned for me to smoke with her
And on her furniture
Discuss how love has been
I must admit I think I lost my way a bit
'Cause six days in, I swear I lost my baby
But then I wrote two tunes that
Dragged me out from nowhere
Paid for all my cigarettes
And whatever I took to keep you off my mind
New York, surprise me
Twenty-two and I need something
To keep me inside of
This company I run with
Emily just phoned for me to smoke with her
And on her furniture
Discuss how love has been
