"New York City Girls"

New York City, Friday night
Lights a promise, shining bright
Oh, the girls are all smiles at the bar
But you better know just where you are
You want her number
Kid, don't even ask
'Cause the New York City girls
Don't call you back

Well, the curtain's up, the candle's shine
And everyone has well-rehearsed their lines
You may kiss some pretty Juliet
But don't you swallow down that poison yet
And if she starts to sing, kid
Don't you listen
'Cause the New York City girls
Are actin'

You get a notion in your brain
That you'd love to kiss her in the rain
The weather's right, the mood is set
But that girl won't let you get her wet
Full of fire, scarecrow,
Is the way you felt
But if New York City girls
Touch water, they melt

No, and don't you bring your heart around
If you plan on going out on this town
But if you let down your guard at all
If you fall for one, kid, just be careful
Keep an eye on them
Know they might go home
With your best friend
'Cause the New York City girls
Ain't human

"You Think It's Wrong"

You think it's wrong
To sing along
'Cause you don't like the sound of your voice
And you don't just want to make noise
And you know that you'll make some mistakes

You think it's wrong
To sing along
'Cause you don't know all of the words
And you're so out of tune that it hurts
And you know that you're probably tone-deaf

But being tone-deaf is okay
You were probably born that way
(It's called "amusia")
And there's nothing you can do
So just accept it, it's a part of you
Oooh

You think it's wrong
To sing along
'Cause you don't like all the attention
And you don't even want to mention
That you know that singing is for dorks

But being a dork is okay
You were probably born that way
And there's nothing you can do
So just accept it, it's a part of you
Oooh

You think it's wrong
To sing along...
