Was it Washington Square
  Or the way you wore you hair?
  Was it central park
  Or kissing after dark?
  Guess I'll never know
  Not sure I even care
  But my heart will always live
  With you and me there
    But I can't afford to live in N.Y.C.
  Ahahahah
  And she can't afford to leave
  hahah
  Was it the Sea Port in June
  Or your face by the moon?
  Was it Soho's charm
  Or you and I arm in arm?
  Was it the 6 train uptown
  Or true love that I found?
  It all blends into one
  When I think of you now
    But I can't afford to live in N.Y.C.
  Ahahahah
  And she can't afford to leave
  Ahahah
    Well I know that a promise is to keep
  But money's tight and I've been losing sleep
  Old Man Circumstance will have his way
  It's true
  But what I wouldn't give to stay here with you
    And I can't afford to live in N.Y.C.
  Ahahahah
  And she can't afford to leave
  Ahahah
    And I've never been good with good-byes
  But good-byes are all I have
