Manhattan |
| You can have Manhattan |
| I know it’s for the best |
| I’ll gather up the avenues |
| And leave them on your doorstep |
| I’ll tip toe away |
| So you won’t have to say |
| You heard me leave |
| You can have Manhattan |
| I know it’s what you want |
| The bustle and the buildings |
| The weather in the fall |
| And I’ll bow out of place |
| To save you some space |
| For somebody new |
| You can have Manhattan |
| 'Cause I can’t have you |
| Oh |
| You can have Manhattan |
| The one we used to share |
| The one where we were laughing |
| And drunk on just being there |
| Hang onto the reverie |
| Could you do that for me? |
| 'Cause I’m just too sad to |
| You can have Manhattan |
| 'Cause I can’t have you |
| And so it goes |
| One foot after the other |
| 'Til black and white begin to color in |
| And I know |
| That holding us in place |
| Is simply fear of what’s already changed |
| You can have Manhattan |
| I’ll settle for the beach |
| And sunsets facing westward |
| With sand beneath my feet |
| I’ll wish this away |
| This missing the days |
| When I was one half of two |
| You can have Manhattan |
| 'Cause I can’t have you |
| Oh |
