Native New Yorker (Ashley Beedle Remix Parts 1 & 2)

Runnin' pretty, New York City girl (twenty-five, thirty-five)

Hello, baby, New York City girl

You grew up ridin' the subways, running with people

Up in Harlem, down on Broadway

You're no tramp, but you're no lady, talkin' that street talk

You're the heart and soul of New York City

And love, love is just a passing word

It's the thought you had in a taxi cab that got left on the curb

When he dropped you off at East 83rd

Oh, oh, oh (oh, oh, oh)

You're a native New Yorker

You should know the score by now (you should know by now)

You're a native New Yorker

(New York, ooh, ooh, ooh)

Music plays, everyone's dancin' closer and closer

Makin' friends and findin' lovers

There you are lost in the shadows, searchin' for someone (searchin' for someone)

To set you free from New York City

And, whoa, where did all those yesterdays go

When you still believed love could really be like a Broadway show

You were the star, when did it close?

Oh, oh, oh (oh, oh, oh)

You're a native New Yorker

No one opens the door

For a native New Yorker

(Runnin' pretty, New York City girl)

Where did all those yesterdays go

When you still believed love could really be like a Broadway show

You're the star

You're a native New Yorker

You should know the score by now

You're a native New Yorker

You should know the score, you should know the score by now

You're a native New Yorker, oh, oh, oh (native, native, native, native New Yorker)

You're a native New Yorker

You're a native New Yorker

You should know the score (native, native, native, native New Yorker)

You're a native New Yorker

What you waitin' for, no one opens the door (you're a native New Yorker)

For a native, for a native New Yorker
