Got up another Monday
Got on another subway
Got through another workday
Hey, was my ambition

Five stops on down to Broadway
You stepped right through the doorway
I saw you coming my way
Hey, a brand new mission

You took the breath, girl, right out of me
And you were all now that I could see
And then my mind just went absentee
Oh, girl
For at least a New York minute

I think my brain was broken
I dropped my subway token
Though not a word was spoken
When I saw you smile, girl

I had never seen eyes
Like your lovely green eyes
Innocent and so streetwise
Hey, you got that style, baby

You took the breath, girl, right out of me
And you were all now that I could see
And then my mind just went absentee
Oh, girl
For at least a New York minute

My heart did a flipflop
When you stood at my stop
It's all now just a backdrop
To, girl, our love story

Stepped up into sunlight
Made a date for that night
Now we're living all right
Wow, that New York glory, baby
