  • New York isn't New York
    Without you, love
    So far in a few blocks
    To be so low

    And if I call you from First Avenue
    Where you're the only other sucker in the city
    Who can handle me

    New love
    Wasn't true love
    Back to you, love
    So much for a home run
    With some blue bloods

    If I last-strawed you on 8th Avenue
    Where you're the only other sucker in the city
    Who can stand me

    I have lost a hero
    I have lost a friend
    But for you, darling
    I'd do it all again

    I have lost a hero
    I have lost a friend
    But for you, darling
    I'd do it all again

    New York isn't New York
    Without you, love
    Too few of our old crew
    Left on Astor

    So if I trade our 'hood
    For some Hollywood
    Where you're the only other sucker in the city who would
    Only other sucker in the city who would
    Only other sucker in the city who'd forgive me

    I have lost a hero
    I have lost a friend
    But for you, darling
    I'd do it all again

    I have lost a hero
    I have lost a friend
    But for you, darling
    I'd do it all again Writer/s: Annie Clark, Jack Antonoff
