A Rainy Day in New York City Lyrics by Martin Briley

One Night With a Stranger

0

You swallow every line he feeds you
He swears he's no cheap Romeo
He promises he'll always need you
To need him too
But you know it isn't true
And I'm afraid all along, he's been lying to you
He knows that I know
But I can't let it go
No, not again
It happened on a rainy day in New York City
It wasn't love and they never pretended
Some say it began as it ended
On a rainy, rainy day
But I say she's a cloud that won't blow away
Did you notice he took longer shaving?
He's never been so squeaky clean
He leaves you at the window waving
You'll see it through
But you know it isn't true
And I don't want to let him make a fool out of you
'Cause he lies
I saw him with my own two eyes
It's happening again
It's another rainy day in New York City
Somewhere they're sharing a broken umbrella
And you're the secret that he'll never, never tell her
It's a rainy, rainy day
And I say she's a cloud that won't blow away
In secrecy, they'll meet
On the corner of a street
It's raining, but he'll keep her dry
You trust him, but you don't
You'll phone him, but you won't
Afraid to check his alibi
'Cause you know it isn't true
And I'm afraid all along, he's been lying to you
And he knows that I know
But I won't let it go
No, not again
It happened on a rainy day in New York City
It's getting late and he said he'd be calling
He lets you down and the tears keep falling
It's a rainy, rainy day
And I say she's a cloud that won't blow away
It's a rainy, rainy day (in New York City)
It's a rainy, rainy day (in New York City)
It's a rainy, rainy day (in New York City)
It's a rainy, rainy day (in New York City)
It's a rainy, rainy day (in New York City)
It's a rainy, rainy day
