Take a bite of the Big Apple

New York

Oh God, I love New York

Love New York, love New York

Love New York, love New York

Feel so free, feel so free

Feel so free, it's my religion

Love New York, love New York, love New York

Love New York, love New York

Feel so free, feel so free

Feel so free, it's my religion

Out of control

Time's moving slow

L.A. is home but I'm ready to go

Black car, pick me up from the airport

Drop my bags at The Bowery Hotel

Next stop to the club, I'm a dance whore

Kick drum, chew gum

Oh God, I love New York

Love New York, love New York

Love New York, love New York

Feel so free, feel so free

Feel so free, it's my religion

Love New York, love New York, love New York

Love New York, love New York

Feel so free, feel so free

Feel so free, it's my religion

Hand on the pulse, sex in the air

Feeding my soul, answer my prayer (prayer, prayer)

Black car, pick me up from the airport

Drop my bags at The Bowery Hotel

Next stop to the club, I'm a dance whore

Kick drum, chew gum

Oh God, I love New York

Love New York, love New York

Love New York, love New York

Feel so free, feel so free

Feel so free, it's my religion

Love New York, love New York

Love New York, love New York, love New York

Feel so free, feel so free

Feel so free, it's my religion

Love New York, love New York, love New York

Love New York, love New York

Feel so free, feel so free

Feel so free, it's my religion

Love New York, love New York

Love New York, love New York, love New York

Feel so free, feel so free

Feel so free, it's my religion
