Well it all started out
In a wonderful city we all know
But on street that few have seen
I couldn't figure whereabouts
All of our moves were meant to go
But I knew that I was keen
And from that moment on
My life would never be the same

I flew to see her twice a year
But all that did was make it worse
My days grew longer back at home
Then suddenly I saw so clear
This town just doesn't quench my thirst
Oh no no no

And I knew from that moment on
My life would never be the same
She was a tough one to restrain
She was the one that got away

Get me back, get me back to new york
She's got something I'm looking for
Get me back, get me back to new york
She's got something I'm looking for

What came next was what I didn't expect
You might say she swept me off my feet
And there was more upset
But certainly no regrets
Of the night we met within those streets

And from that moment on
My life would never be the same
She was a tough one to restrain
She was the one that got away

Get me back, get me back to new york
She's got something I'm looking for
Get me back, get me back to new york
She's got something I'm looking for
