Baby, what ya doing today What are you doing later? I don't know my way through a maze Of gray skyscrapers But I'm willing to learn If you want me to, I'll stay just where I am But I promise just to follow where I land You can take my word For that You are my Manhattan from the sky You look so neat and tidy when I'm way up high But I know your streets are lined with a fine mess inside I wanna come down and walk around your mind Daisies, once upon an old daydream That's what you gave me Out on the corner of Broadway and 48th street On a rainy afternoon Well I could start discovering your world And I would make a damn good city girl Things would start to bloom I'm sure You are my Manhattan from the sky You look so neat and tidy when I'm way up high But I know your streets are lined with a fine mess inside I wanna come down and walk around your mind I know you want me to see it; don't lie to me So why you gotta go be so shy to me? I ain't buying the false anxiety Let your fortress fall What is it gonna take to get you there? If fear was money, you'd be a millionaire All alone in a leather swivel chair Counting stacks of gold You are my Manhattan from the sky You look so neat and tidy when I'm way up high But I know your streets are lined with a fine mess inside I wanna come down and walk around You are my Manhattan from the sky You look so neat and tidy when I'm way up high But I know your streets are lined with a fine mess inside I wanna come down and walk around your mind
