Queen of New York City Songtext

von Matchbox Twenty

There′s a rhythm to her heart
And a world inside her head
She'll tell you from the start
Boy, you don′t know her yet

She's like a constellation
Of stars that don't connect
And she′s dancin′ on the sidewalk
Just like the neon sign's her spotlight, she says:

"Ain′t I the queen of New York City?
I'll take ′em all down with me
'Cause I′m gonna run this town"
She's got some kind of way about her
One look and you don't doubt her
Seeing′s believing now
Don′t you believe her now?

She says, "Man, I'm gonna leave this town
′Cause I got wings under my feet"
Then she tells you she gets vertigo
When she goes above 14th Street

And then she smiles at you the way that people smile
When they're trying not to cry, and she says:

"Ain′t I the queen of New York City?
I'll drag ′em all down with me
'Cause I'm gonna run this town"
She′s got some kind of way about her
One look and you don′t doubt her
Seeing's believing now
Don′t you believe her now?

Well, ain't I the queen of New York City?
I′ll take 'em all down with me
′Cause I'm gonna run this town

Hey, I'm the queen of New York City
I′ll drag ′em all down with me
'Cause I′m gonna run this town, hey
She's got some kind of way about her
One look and you don′t doubt her
Seeing's believing now
Don′t you believe her now?

(Don't you believe her now?)
Yeah, don't you believe her now?
(Don′t you believe her now?)
Hell, I believe her now, yeah
(Don′t you believe her now?)
Queen of New York City
