Lyrics for New York Telephone Conversation
I was sleeping, gently napping, when I heard the phone Who is on the other end talking, am I even home? Did you see what she did to him, did you hear what they said? Just a New York conversation rattling in my head Ooh my, and what shall we wear, ooh my, and who really cares? Just a New York conversation, gossip all of the time "Did you hear who did what to whom?", happens all the time Who has touched and who has dabbled, here in the city of shows Openings, closings, bad rap party, everybody knows Ooh, how sad and why do we call, ooh I'm glad to hear from you all I am calling, yes I'm calling just to speak to you For I know this night will kill me, if I can't be with you If I can't be with you
