Casey Dienel - Better in Manhattan lyrics

[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
