New York Dream Lyrics

New York Dream
Words and Music by Tom Johnston
You jump in your car pull your long hair back Got your wood grain appointments and your leather is black With yo dark sunglasses and your flip phone on send Ridin' along in your Mercedes Benz
Said, but somethin' that you left behind A pesky little detail in the back of your mind That would be…your midnight lover Way across town…sleepin' under cover
Dressed for work drinking latte on the balcony Then you're meetin' with your lawyers down on Gramercy Spendin' all your daddy's money on silky lingerie Savin' all your loving for the man you hide away
But there's somethin' that you left behind A pesky little detail in the back of your mind That would be…the new young lover Way across town…sleepin' under cover Make up your mind...before it's too late [ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/new-york-dream-lyrics-the-doobie-brothers.html ] Your high heeled thinkin' will take it all away
Satin seduction and powder on your face Expensive way of livin' that your mind will erase Playing in the clubs with the in crowd you seek While the sun starts risin' in you're dead on your feet Another dance another drink of small flirtation Dropping the names of your rich relations But nobody cares they just want to get high While the young men's attention has just passed you by, bye baby
To your new young lover Way across town…sleepin' under cover Make up your mind...before it's too late Your high heeled thinkin' will take it all away
That would be…the new young lover Way 'cross town…sleepin' under cover Make up your mind...before it's too late Your high heeled thinkin' will take it all away
So what'll it be the new young lover Way across town sleepin' under cover Another day of shoppin' at Saks Fifth Avenue Better look in the mirror at what's become of you
