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
