Pretenders — Maybe Love Is in NYC

[Verse 1] Standing on a rooftop, overlooking the park Eyes are glowing in the dark The smell of horses lingers in the air It feels like something else is out there [Chorus] Maybe love is in New York City Fluorescent streets might lead me to it I've been to Barcelona, Lima, and Hong Kong If it was here, I never knew it If it was here all along [Verse 2] The clouds are low and cast a misty spell As if they've got a story to tell A constellation overhead A cross like an ancient gift something, let me here [Chorus] Maybe love is in New York City Fluorescent streets might lead me to it I've been to Barcelona, Lima, and Hong Kong If it was here, I never knew it If it was here all along [Bridge] Is it ever too late? To do what's never been done Things change and they're never quite the same For anyone [Verse 3] Never understandin' But now that people told me This city own its own mess Like arms still hold me I just heard traffic rushin' past Everything goin', goin' too fast Everything goin', goin' too fast [Chorus] Maybe love is in New York City Fluorescent streets might lead me to it I've been to Barcelona, Lima, and Hong Kong If it was here, I never knew it If it was here all along
