There's a rhythm to her heart

And a world inside her head

She'll tell you from the start

Boy, you don't know her yet

She's like a constellation

Of stars that don't connect

And she's dancing on the sidewalk

Just like all the neon signs are spotlights, she says

"Ain't I the queen of New York City?

I'll take 'em all down with me

'Cause I'm gonna run this town"

She's got some kind of way about her

One look and you don't doubt her

Seeing's believing now

Don't you believe her now?

She says, "Man, I'm gonna leave this town

'Cause I got wings under my feet"

Then she tells you she gets vertigo

When she goes above 14th Street

And then she smiles at you the way that people smile

When they're trying not to cry, and she says

"Ain't I the queen of New York City?

I'll drag 'em all down with me

'Cause I'm gonna run this town"

She's got some kind of way about her

One look and you don't doubt her

Seeing's believing now

Don't you believe her now?

"Well, ain't I the queen of New York City?

I'll take 'em all down with me

'Cause I'm gonna run this town"

"Hey, I'm the queen of New York City

I'll drag 'em all down with me

'Cause I'm gonna run this town"

She's got some kind of way about her

One look and you don't doubt her

Seeing's believing now

Don't you believe her now?

Don't you believe her now?

Yeah, don't you believe her now?

Don't you believe her now?

Hell, I believe her now, yeah

Don't you believe her now?

Queen of New York City
