Better in Manhattan Lyrics by Casey Dienel

2006

[Verse 1]
Putting on my lipstick
I know it's gonna get me tips
Stepping into costume
So I can give my patrons kicks
Step outside for a cigarette
And it's starting to snow
Every time it gets cold
I begin to think of you
[Refrain]
Hold on a minute
They're calling me
Sugar sugar sugar, come here
Dance a little closer
I can almost feel you
Sugar sugar, come here
You're all I got to keep me warm
[Verse 2]
Admittedly it's cliché
But I'm still writing you letters
My room here is cozy and sparse
And decorated with posters of Big Sur
I've never been there
But I want you to take me
Though I think paradise is a place you visit
And not a place you live
[Chorus]
That's why
Everything is better in Manhattan
Oh, people aren't hungry
They are starving in Manhattan
And the buildings are tall
And the sky is something you search for
In Manhattan
[Verse 3]
Oh, in my spare time
I'm making a garden on my fire escape
I can't wait to watch my seedlings
Find the Sun
It won't be easy
Cause nothing ever is
That's why
Everything tastes so good
[Verse 4]
So, my love
I've got all my ropes and chains
I'm gonna give them to you
For your birthday
You can do with them what you want
But I hope you're gonna tie me up
You can do with them what you want
But I hope you're gonna tie me up and sing
[Refrain]
Oh
Sugar sugar sugar, come here
Dance a little closer
I can almost feel you
Sugar sugar, come here
You're all I got to keep me warm
Sugar sugar, come here
Oh, I can almost taste you
I'm gonna put you out on the street
And watch you grow
In the concrete
[Verse 4]
Oh, my love
This time you've gone too far
How many times
Must I repeat myself?
I love you
There! I said it
And I meant it
Oh, I love you
There! I said it
And I meant every word
I love you
There! I said it
Now will you take it
Or will you put it out on the street
And watch it grow
In the concrete
[Chorus]
Everything is better in Manhattan
Oh, the spoons aren't silver
They're gold in Manhattan
And the buildings are tall
And the sky is something you reach for
[Outro]
In Manhattan
Ooh
In Manhattan
Ooh
In Manhattan
In Manhattan
