Don't ever let me take you for granted

You've got your finger on the pulse of my soul

Let me place a kiss in the small of your back

Love and protect you from the evils of this world

Baby don't ever leave me stranded

Whoever said that the streets were paved with gold

We'll I'm afraid that we're all sadly mistaken

There's nothing here till we have someone to hold

I love you with all the joy of living

Till the lights go down in New York City

It's a special love affair

And there's magic in the air

You gotta shake me down

Bring me 'round to my senses

Till I'm lost and found

And you surround me with your senses

If love wasn't here would we reinvent it?

Oh take me down to the very root of my soul

Oh baby, say it

as if you really mean it

And feel the passion

Work it's way up through your skin

I love you with all the joy of living

Till the lights go down in New York City

It's a special love affair

And there's magic in the air

You gotta shake me down

Bring me 'round to my senses

Till I'm lost and found

And you surround me with your senses

Let me take you by the hand

And lead you to a safe place in this world
