New York City Cops Lyrics - Singles - Strokes

Ow, I meant ah 

No, I din't mean that at all 

Here in the streets of American nights 

Rise to the bottom of the meaning of life 

Studied all the rules didn't want no part 

But I let you in just to break this heart 

Even though it was only one night 

It was fucking strange 

Nina's in the bedroom 

She said, "Time to go now" 

But leavin' it ain't easy 

I got to let go, I got to let go 

And the hours they ran slow 

I said, "Every night she just can't stop sayin' " 

"New York City cops 

New York City cops 

New York City cops 

But they ain't too smart" 

"New York City cops 

New York City cops 

New York City cops 

But they ain't too smart" 

Well, kill me now 'cause I let you down 

I swear one day we gonna leave this town 

Stop! Yes I'm leavin', 'cause it just won't work 

And, they act like Romans, but they dress like Turks 

Sometime, in your prime 

See me, I like the summertime 

Nina's in the bedroom 

She said, "Time to go now" 

But leavin' it ain't easy 

I got to let go, I got to let go, oh 

Trapped in an apartment 

She would not let them get her 

She wrote it in a letter 

I got to come clean the authorities they've seen 

Darling, I'm somewhere in between 

I said, "Every night she just can't stop sayin' " 

"New York City cops 

New York City cops 

New York City cops 

But they ain't too smart" 

"New York City cops 

New York City cops 

New York City cops 

But they ain't too smart"
