Am I Ever Gonna Fall In Love In New York City - Grace Jones

Well I finally got my wish to work in New York city,

But (it) isn’t everything I thought that it would be,

I while away the lonely hours, gazing at the city towers,

Wondering if there isn’t someone in there just for me,

Am I ever gonna fall in love in New York City?

Will I ever find a home so far from Tennessee?

Theres no future in the single bars, nothing but the one night stars,

Am I ever gonna fall in love in New York City?

My ambition and wish

But I’m missin' the tradition that I knew before,

Everybody in a hurry,

No ones got the time and no ones got the time of day.

Am I ever gonna fall in love in New York City?

Will I ever find a home so far from Tennessee?

Theres no future in the single bars, nothing but the one night stars,

Am I ever gonna fall in love in New York City?

One city isn’t pretty if you see it on your own,

It’s a fabulous place, but the isn’t fun alone

There’s no one I know to cherish, no one I can hug, (nobody around day).

Am I ever gonna fall in love in New York City?

Will I ever find a home so far from Tennessee?

Theres no future in the single bars, nothing but the one night stars,

Am I ever gonna fall in love in New York City?

Am I ever gonna fall in love in New York City?

Will I ever find a home so far from Tennessee?

Theres no future in the single bars, nothing but the one night stars,

Am I ever gonna fall in love in New York City?

Am I ever gonna fall in love in New York City?

Will I ever find a home so far from Tennessee?

Theres no future in the single bars, nothing but the one night stars,

Am I ever gonna fall in love in New York City?
