I met a girl in the city
She could sense that I was good
A boy that could love her like a man never could
She liked Knick games and cocaine
The high life, no chump change
No back streets or taxis
Just hotels and back seats
Had a Wall Street lover and lots of famous friends
A condo on the east side and a new Mercedes Benz
She sold her soul and she'd sell it again
To those who dance with the devil
And it was my turn to dance
Well I hailed a yellow cab
Pulled up to a motel six
I could tell that she wasn't too used to life like this
She liked the five stars, the sky bars
The bright lights and fast cars
No love or no passion
Just drugs, sex and fashion
Had a Wall Street lover and lots of famous friends
A condo on the east side and all the latest trends
She sold her soul and she'd sell it again
To those who dance with the devil
So we danced, so we danced
So we danced, so we danced
And I woke in the morning
To a letter on the sheets
It said thanks dance partner, this one is on me
And she left no name, no trace
A memory misplaced
No way to discover
My New York lover
And I searched Manhattan 'til the day came to an end
For the high class woman
Who gave a poor boy a chance
She sold her soul again and again
To those who dance with the devil
And it was my turn to dance
