She came to me shortly after Christmas
Said she hated spoiling New Year's Eve
But the truth doesn't wait to come in season
And what we had feared was now believed
She said she'd leave come Monday morning
Catch a plane if I'd split the fair
She had friends who lived in New York City (New York City)
She'd look them up and have the baby there
And now she's alone in New York City (New York City)
Living like, Lord, I wonder how
An angel in hell in New York City (New York City)
But I can't think about that now
