Heading Back To New York City

Joan Armatrading


Goin' back to New York City
To do the things I never did
I'm headin' back to New York City
To see the things I never saw

Things like the ABC, no Rio, oh, oh
I'm gonna search this town both high and low
I'm gonna go all the places where New Yorkers go
I'm gonna see Staten Island, gonna take the boat
I'm gonna search every place till I reach zero, eh

Goin' back to New York city
You might be by those Asian trees
I'm headin' back to New York city
Times square and all those Broadway babes

And if the devil has a playground, aah
You wanna bet New York is the devil's swing
Let's shake, let's shake let's make a deal
Of all the bright light cities spread around the globe
There ain't a skyline better than New York

I'm going back to the place I lost my heart
I'm going back to the place I lost my heart
Spend my time tryin' to find you
Here in New York

Goin' back to New York City
To do the things I never did

I know I'm gonna find you, baby
I'm gonna search this town both high and low
I'm gonna go all the places where New Yorkers go
I'm gonna see Staten Island gonna take the boat
I'm gonna search every place till I reach zero

Goin' back to New York City
Headin' back to find you
Goin' back to New York City
Headin' back to find you

Goin' back to New York City
Headin' back to find you
Goin' back to New York City
Headin' back to find you
