Verse 1:
Mmm-hmm, there's no pity
In the naked city, yeah
When you're all alone
And all your hard-earned money's gone
Chorus 1:
There just ain't no pity (there's no pity)
No, no, no, in the naked city, yeah (New York City)
Help me now, mmm-hmm
Verse 2:
You go walking down Broadway Watchin' people catch the subway Take it from me, don't ask for a helping hand Mmm, 'cause no one will understand
Chorus 2:
Aaahhh, there's no pity, yeah (there's no pity) No, no, no, in the naked city, yeah (New York City) Oh, help me now, mmm-hmm
Bridge:
(There's no pity) Folks that don't know think it's very nice
(New York City) It's the only place I know where hearts turn to ice
(There's no pity) You can have a room and your neighbor next door
Will swear to someone like the iceman you don't live there no more (New York City)
Bright lights will find you And they will mess you around Let me tell you - millions will watch you, have mercy now As you sink right down to the ground
Chorus 3:
And there's no pity, yeah (there's no pity) No, no, no, in the naked city, yeah (New York City) Come on, help me now (there's no pity) There's no pity (New York City) [fade]
