Lyrics New York (Handles Heartbreak Better) - Peg Parnevik

New York (Handles Heartbreak Better)

I’m jealous of the city
The way you spend your nights with her
They say the girls are very pretty
But twenty-two too young to be hurt
And the snow is gently falling
And there’s presents on the floor
But this plane is leaving tomorrow
New York handels heartbreak
Better than you
Better than you
You, you
Jealous of the pavement
The way you call the streets your home
No I won’t be negotiated
I hope you feel this in your bones
You swear you’re tired and lonely
But I hear she’s hanging around
You say it’s love then assure me
New York handels heartbreak better than you
Better than you, you, you
And I been waiting, love, in a hotel room
You swear you gonna leave her
And every christmas time I think of you
Yes I do, yes I do
Remember we danced you fumbled your steps
But said you never let go
Remember we cried for days at a time
But baby why won’t you come home?
Cause I been waiting in New York patient for you
All for you, you, you
It torn me up inside
I’ve been waiting, waiting, waiting (I've been waiting)
In those dirty, damn hotel rooms
The snow is on the pavement, at Rockefeller too (I've been waiting)
Don’t you swear that you’ll leave her
Baby, I’m lonely
New York, New York
