I don't like cities, but I like New York
Other places make me feel like a dork
Los Angeles is for people who sleep
Paris and London, baby you can keep
Baby you can keep (8x)
Other cities always make me mad
Other places always make me sad
No other city ever made me glad
Except New York
I love New York
I love New York
I love New York
If you don't like my attitude, then you can F-off
Just go to Texas, isn't that where they golf?
New York is not for little pussies who scream
If you can't stand the heat, then get off my street
Get off my street (8x)
Other cities always make me mad
Other places always make me sad
No other city ever made me glad
Except New York
I love New York
I love New York
I love New York
I love New York (Get off my street, get off my street) (4x)
(Get off my street) (10x)
I don't know why i thought that i could make you happy
These tears i cry for you are so hopeless, yeah
I don't know why i thought that we were going somewhere
But you grabbed your coat and you were out the door
And now i know you don't care
Chorus:
I know you're gonna take your love and run
I know you think i'm the foolish one
I know you're gonna turn around and say goodbye
I used to think you were my pretty angel comin' down
Well now you've just proven me wrong
What about the letters we have written
All the things we've said and done
I'll just stand here while you count the battles you have won
(chorus)
But i'm not gonna cry for you
'cause that's what you want me to do
No i'm not gonna cry for you anymore
(chorus)
Take your love and run from me
Is this the way love's supposed to be
You don't think that i can see
But you can't fool me
But i'm not gonna cry for you
'cause that's what you want me to do
No i'm not gonna cry for you anymore
I fucked up
I made a mistake
Nobody does it better than myself
I'm sorry
I'm not afraid to say
I wish I could take you back but I can't
I'm so ashamed
You're in so much pain
I blamed you when things didn't go my way
If I didn't, you'd be here
If I didn't fight back I'd have no fear
If I took another path
Things would be so different, but they're not
I could have just kept my big mouth closed
I could have just done what I was told
Maybe I should have turned silver into gold
But in front of you, I was cold
I fucked up
I made a mistake
Nobody does it better than myself
I'm sorry
I'm not afraid to say
I wish I could take you back but I can't**
I thought we had it all
You brought out the best in me
And somehow I destroyed the perfect dream
I thought we were indestructible
I never imagined we could fall
Do you wanna know how to make God laugh?
Tell him your plans
We could've bought a house with a swimming pool
Fill it up with Warhols, it would be so cool
Could've gone riding stallions in the countryside
With a pack of Great Danes
Racing eye to eye
We could've toured the world in a private jet
Run naked on the beach, all soaking wet
We could've climbed a mountain,
Seen a perfect sunrise
Written our names across the sky
We could've gotten drunk and driven on the autobahn
We could've got ourselves arrested in St. Germain
We could've lived like crazy til' the day we die ... Read more »
Wake up, ex-wife
This is your life
Children, on your own
Turning on the telephone
Messengers, manager
No time for a manicure
Working out, shake my ass
I know how to multitask
Connecting to the WIFI
Went from nerd to superb
Have you seen the new guy?
I forgot the password
Gotta call the babysitter
Tweetin' on the elevator
I could take a helicopter
I don't even feel the pressure
I'm gonna be okay
I don't care what the people say
I'm gonna be alright
Gonna live fast and I'm gonna live right
I'm moving fast, can you follow my track?
I'm moving fast and I like it like that
I do ten things all at once
And if you have a problem
I don't give a...
You were so mad at me
Who's got custody?
Lawyers, suck it up
Didn't have a pre-nup
Make a film, write a song
Gotta get my stockings on
Meet the press, buy the dress
All of this to impress
Ride my horse, break some bones
Take it down a semitone
I forgot to say my prayers:
"Baby Jesus" on the stairs
Gotta sign a contract
Gotta get my money back
All the biters have to go
Standing in the front row
I'm gonna be okay
I don't care what the people say
I'm gonna be alright
Gonna live fast and I'm gonna live right
I'm moving fast, can you follow my track?
I'm moving fast and I like it like that
I do ten things all at once
And if you have a problem
I don't give a... <

Time goes by so slowly
Time goes by so slowly
Time goes by so slowly
Time goes by so slowly
Time goes by so slowly
Time goes by so slowly
Every little thing that you say or do
I'm hung up
I'm hung up on you
Waiting for your call
Baby night and day
I'm fed up
I'm tired of waiting on you
Time goes by so slowly for those who wait
No time to hesitate
Those who run seem to have all the fun
I'm caught up
I don't know what to do
Time goes by so slowly
Time goes by so slowly
Time goes by so slowly
I don't know what to do
Every little thing that you say or do
I'm hung up
I'm hung up on you
Waiting for your call
Baby night and day
I'm fed up
I'm tired of waiting on you
Every little thing that you say or do
I'm hung up
I'm hung up on you
Waiting for your call
Baby night and day
I'm fed up
I'm tired of waiting on you
Ring ring ring goes the telephone
The lights are on but there's no-one home
Tick tick tock it's a quarter to two
And I'm done
I'm hanging up on you
I can't keep on waiting for you
I know that you're still hesitating
Don't cry for me
'cause I'll find my way
you'll wake up one day
but it'll be too late
Every little thing that you say or do
I'm hung up
I'm hung up on you
Waiting for your call
Baby night and day
I'm fed up
I'm tired of waiting on you
Every little thing that you say or do
I'm hung up
I'm hung up on you
Waiting for your call
Baby night and day
I'm fed up
I'm tired of waiting on you
And I'm not sorry [I'm not sorry]
It's human nature [it's human nature]
And I'm not sorry [I'm not sorry]
I'm not your bitch don't hang your shit on me [it's human nature]
You wouldn't let me say the words I longed to say
You didn't want to see life through my eyes
[Express yourself, don't repress yourself]
You tried to shove me back inside your narrow room
And silence me with bitterness and lies
[Express yourself, don't repress yourself]
Did I say something wrong?
Oops, I didn't know I couldn't talk about sex
[I musta been crazy]
Did I stay too long?
Oops, I didn't know I couldn't speak my mind
[What was I thinking]
(chorus)
You punished me for telling you my fantasies
I'm breakin' all the rules I didn't make
[Express yourself, don't repress yourself]
You took my words and made a trap for silly fools
You held me down and tried to make me break
[Express yourself, don't repress yourself]
Bridge:
Did I say something true?
Oops, I didn't know I couldn't talk about sex
[I musta been crazy]
Did I have a point of view?
Oops, I didn't know I couldn't talk about you
[What was I thinking]
(chorus, with the following spoken substitutions)
[I'm not apologizing]
[Would it sound better if I were a man?]
[You're the one with the problem]
[Why don't you just deal with it]
(chorus, with the following spoken substitutions)
[Would you like me better if I was?]

How high are the stakes
How much fortune can you make
How high are the stakes
How much fortune can you make
It's funny, I spent my whole life wanting to be talked about
I did it, just about everything to see my name in lights
Was it all worth it
And how did I earn it
Nobody's perfect, I guess I deserve it
How high are the stakes
How much fortune can you make
Does this get any better
Should I carry on
Will it matter when I'm gone
Will any of this matter
It's funny how everybody mentions my name
They're never very nice
I took it, just about everything except my own advice
Was it all worth it
And how did I earn it
Nobody's perfect, I guess I deserve it
How high are the stakes
How much fortune can you make
(Nothing lasts forever)
Does this get any better
Should I carry on
Will it matter when I'm gone
(Doesn't make a difference)
Will any of this matter
How high, does it make a difference
Nothing lasts forever
Should I, will it matter when I'm gone
Will any of this matter
How high are the stakes
How much fortune can you make
Should I carry on
Will it matter when I'm gone
How high are the stakes
How much fortune can you make
Does this get any better
Should I carry on
Will it matter when I'm gone
Will any of this matter
How high are the stakes
(How high, does it make a difference)
Nothing lasts forever
Does this get any better
Should I carry on
(Should I, will it matter when I'm gone)
Does it make a difference
Will any of this matter
How high are the stakes
How much fortune can you make
Should I carry on
Will it matter when I'm gone
How high are the stakes
How much fortune

Everybody comes to Hollywood
They wanna make it in the neighborhood
They like the smell of it in Hollywood
How could it hurt you when it looks so good
Chorus:
Shine your light now
This time it's gotta be good
You get it right now
'Cause you're in Hollywood
There's something in the air in Hollywood
The sun is shining like you knew it would
You're ridin' in your car in Hollywood
You got the top down and it feels so good
I lost my memory in Hollywood
I've had a million visions, bad and good
There's something in the air in Hollywood
I tried to leave it but I never could
(chorus)
There's something in the air in Hollywood
I've lost my reputation, bad and good
You're ridin' in your car in Hollywood
You got the top down and it feels so good
Music stations always play the same songs
I'm bored with the concept of right and wrong
Everybody comes to Hollywood
They wanna make it in the neighborhood
They like the smell of it in Hollywood
How could it hurt you when it looks so good
(chorus)
'Cause you're in Hollywood
'Cause you're in Hollywood
In Hollywood (repeat three times)
Check it out, this bird has flown
(chorus)
'Cause you're in Hollywood
'Cause you're in Hollywood
In Hollywood (repeat three times)
Push the button
Don't push the button
Trip the station
Change the channel
(repeat twice)
If we took a holiday
Took some time to celebrate
Just one day out of life
It would be, it would be so nice
Everybody spread the word
We're gonna have a celebration
All across the world
In every nation
It's time for the good times
Forget about the bad times, oh yeah
One day to come together
To release the pressure
We need a holiday
(chorus)
You can turn this world around
And bring back all of those happy days
Put your troubles down
It's time to celebrate
Let love shine
And we will find
A way to come together
And make things better
We need a holiday
(chorus)
Holiday celebrate
Holiday celebrate
(chorus)
Holiday celebrate
Holiday celebrate
Holiday, celebration
Come together in every nation
