'Cause one day they're here
In a New York minute
He had a home
In the time when she was here
In a New York minute
In a New York minute
Everything can change
In a New York minute
And he was too much in this world
In a New York minute
And people rush home
In a New York minute
And he never came back
You can get out of the rain
And take care of your own
In a New York minute
To the ones they love
The wolf is always at the door
In a New York minute
If you find somebody to love in this world
As years unfurl
Things can get a little strange
A desperate lover left his mark
The heart makes very clear
Things can get a little strange
Things can get pretty strange
In the morning
Everything can change
Scattered somewhere down the track
Everything can change
And took a walk down through the park
But I know there's somebody somewhere
In a New York minute
In a New York minute
And in these days
Make these dark clouds disappear
The groaning city in the gathering dark
I pulled my coat around my shoulders
One day he crossed some line
'Baby, I've changed, please come back'
In a New York minute
I believe, I believe
In a New York minute
Everything can change
In a New York minute
Everything can change
You better take a fool's advice
On some solitary rock
Everything can change
I hear the sirens wail
Everything can change
Lying here in the darkness
In a New York minute
I know the days were so much brighter
They found his clothing
You better hang on tooth and nail
When darkness falls early
Until that day, I have to believe
The leaves were fallin' around me
What the head makes cloudy
But men get lost sometimes
In a New York minute
Next day they're gone
In a New York minute
The love of a girl
Everything can change
Everything can change
In a New York minute
But I guess it doesn't matter anymore
And he won't be down on Wall Street
Somebody's going to jail
You can get out of the rain
Somebody going to emergency
In a New York minute
