NYC Girl
The Orion Experience Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

She's got a style that's all her own
that girl has got her shit together
she's got that ah je ne sais quoi
that money can't buy
she's got a groove
the way she moves
yeah, you could stare at her forever
Now here she comes, and there she goes
in just a blink of your eye
Yeah, yeah
I fall in love with her like every single day

Now here I go again searching,
searching for her
She leaves me breatheless
I just don't know what to say
'cause she can shake my confidence
like nothing in the world

Woah now
New York City girl
won't you walk in my direction
New York City girl
I wanna give you my affection
New York City girl
How'd you get to look so fine
New York City girl
New York City girl I'm gonna make you mine
I'm gonna make you mine

The traffic jams at her command
when she walks down the streets of Brookyln
She's breakin' hearts
of fashionistas on the Lower East Side
She haunts the dreams of boys in Queens
all the way down to Staten Island
Yeah
Way up in Harlem she's a riot
going off in the night
Yeah, Yeah

Well I dream about her nearly every single day
Was she for real I can't be certain, certain of it
But when I saw her
I just had to turn away
'cause something something beautiful
is like from another world

Woah now
New York City girl
won't you walk in my direction
New York City girl
I wanna give you my affection
New York City girl
How'd you get to look so fine
New York City girl
New York City girl I'm gonna make you mine
I'm gonna make you mine

And when you walked by me
why did I turn away
See, I've been looking for a girl like you for
an eternity
why can't you be next to me
See, I would make you my girl forever more
Emotion running through me
Can't I just talk to you
I can be the one to make you smile
So New York City girl please tell me why

You wanna see me cry
Yeah yeah yeah
you wanna see me cry
Yeah yeah yeah
you wanna see me cry (New York City girl)
Yeah yeah yeah
you wanna see me cry (New York City girl)
Yeah yeah yeah
you wanna see me cry (New York City girl)
Yeah yeah yeah
you wanna see me cry (New York City girl)
Yeah yeah yeah
you wanna see me cry (New York City girl)
Yeah yeah yeah
you wanna see me cry (New York City girl)




Yeah yeah yeah
you wanna see me cry
