Everybody knows she's a perfect ten And I'm hanging on tight til the whole thing ends 'Cause New York sky don't get much brighter She sets, she sets the city on fire Somebody told me If I'm not careful, well, this one's gonna roll me I got my hands full and this one's gonna own me and control me I'm so mystified She caught the last train last night, left another note Saying "see you next time, miss me if you don't" You look good in your bed, till we meet again You went through my head and nobody told me so Everybody knows she's a perfect ten And I'm hanging on tight til the whole thing ends 'Cause New York sky don't get much brighter She sets, she sets the city on fire She sets the city on fire Burns like a million lighters I'm going up, I couldn't get much higher She sets, she sets the city on fire New scene, next block She'll be jaywalking right across while the cops talk Make you feel like a boss when your eyes lock And you can't stop staring endlessly She got the whole thing figured out, hits me where it hurts And I know I might be swinging at a curve I don't mind it, though, when the lights are low She can hit the notes wearing my T-shirt Everybody knows she's a perfect ten And I'm hanging on tight til the whole thing ends 'Cause New York sky don't get much brighter She sets, she sets the city on fire She sets the city on fire Burns like a million lighters I'm going up, I couldn't get much higher She sets, she sets the city on fire But I don't know if I'm chasing ghosts Put my hand in the flame of a flickering lighter Again and again, I was lucky just to find her But I don't know if I'm chasing ghosts I put my hand in the flame of a flickering lighter Again and again, I was lucky Everybody knows she's a perfect ten And I'm hanging on tight til the whole thing ends 'Cause New York sky don't get much brighter She sets, she sets the city on fire She sets the city on fire Burns like a million lighters I'm going up, I couldn't get much higher She sets, she sets the city on fire I'm going up, I couldn't get much higher She sets, she sets the city on fire
