[bad word] back I can't remember all the things you said [bad word] back to New York honey I won't treat you bad
Your life was over easy boiling like an egg
I know you had to leave but I can't help but beg

I know it's hard
I know you're right
And I'll call you now
But not tonight
I know the guys 
You're dreaming of
And I know they don't
Know how to love

You got me all tied up and I can't see my frame
I walk the boulevard but girls just look the same
It's fall in Brooklyn now but I don't see the change
I need a mountain top so I don't feel deranged

I know it's hard
I know you're right
And I'll call you now
But not tonight
I know the guys 
You're dreaming of
And I know they don't
Know how to love

I was a happy kid when I was seventeen
I had no love to lose I pictured it in dreams
You had no thoughts for me and I had none for you
I was a boy back then but now I'm broke in two

I know it's hard
I know you're right
And I'll call you now
But not tonight
I know the guys 
You're dreaming of
And I know they don't
Know how to love you
