Verse 3

The fact is you would rather I be lonely

In a bathtub with a book

The fact is you would rather I sat pining

On our pictures from New York

New York, New York, New York

But I get torn to pieces

For the stupidest reasons

All I want's to love the one I'm with

Just like the song says

I like the way she looks
D 
And when I go to bed at night

jealous as all get out
G 
We can do it in the dark
The dark, the dark, the dark
