New York City Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm on the first plane to New York
We could do a real-time walk that walk
I'm so tired of that talk, talk, talk
I just wanna get to you
Get me on a train to the big bad city
Boy, I gotta see your face, so pretty
I bet you can't wait to slow dance with me
I just wanna get to you

[Pre-Chorus]
Things heat up when the lights go down
Feels so good when we're in this town
Dreams come true when the distance fades away

[Chorus]
New York City
Everybody looks so pretty
Ooh, it's givin' me those feelings
I just love the feels with you, with you, with you, with⁠
New York City
When I'm with you, it looks so pretty
Ooh, it's givin' me those feelings
I just love the feels with you
I just wanna get, I just wanna get, get, yeah
I just wanna get to you
[Verse 2]
Karaoke in Tokyo, shakin' that samba in Rio
Tippin' that pulse rate, oh, oh, oh
Makin' those dreams come true
Every place got a piece of my heart
Bangkok, baby, "Sawasdee ka"
Paris make a girl go, "Ooh, la la"
I just wanna get to you

[Pre-Chorus]
Things heat up when the lights go down
Feels so good when we're in this town
Dreams come true when the distance fades away
(Away, away, away)

[Chorus]
New York City
Everybody looks so pretty
Ooh, it's givin' me those feelings
I just love the feels with you, with you, with you, with⁠
New York City
When I'm with you, it looks so pretty
Ooh, it's givin' me those feelings
I just love the feels with you
I just wanna get, I just wanna get, get, yeah
I just wanna get to you
[Bridge]
Hold my breath, I'm shakin' now
Baby, I feel you all around
So high up, there's no comin' down, down, down (Ooh)
Feel your body close to me
Both know where we wanna be
It's crazy every time we go out

[Chorus]
In New York City (Hey)
Everybody looks so pretty (Yeah)
Ooh, it's givin' me those feelings (Yeah)
I just love the feels with you, with you, with you, with⁠
New York City
When I'm with you, it looks so pretty
Ooh, it's givin' me those feelings
I just love the feels with you
I just wanna get, I just wanna get, get, yeah
I just wanna get to you

[Outro]
New York City
I feel it all around, just love this feeling now
I feel it all around, just love this feeling now
New York City

About

Genius Annotation

“New York City” is a song that was recorded by Kylie Minogue, presumably for her fourteenth studio album Golden; during an interview with Build Series, she stated that she had started writing a song called “New York City” when asked a question by a studio audience member; she said that it was one of a number of songs that had been started and not finished or didn’t make the album, and that they’d been singing the song in the car the day before. After this, she sang a part of the song, which is presumably the first verse and pre-chorus, because she stated after she’d finished that what came next was a “big chorus”.

The song was performed as part of the Kylie Presents: Golden promo tour, and then included on the Golden Tour; on May 3 2019, the song was released as the lead single from Kylie’s upcoming greatest hits album Step Back in Time: The Definitive Collection
