New York Telephone Conversation

Lou Reed Lou Reed

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 hear in the city of shows
Openings, closings, badrap party - everybody knows

Oh, how sad and why do we call, ooh I'm glad to hear from you all

I am calling, yes I am 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
