ya yeh ya, heyey ya, oh woh woh woh woh, ah ah ah ahh

say goodbye to all of your friends

and the people we knew

its better that it comes from you

tell them what you want

cause I tried so hard to make you happy

no big star dreams, no things that seem

to make up your life

so I'm going back to new york city

where people live

in my reality

all of my life

yours was no good for me

need to feel the beat

of the street, in my life

in my reality

back to my life

yours was no good for me

3000 miles away

and everydays a new day

all those dreams that pulled us apart

and the things that you want

they'll never be enough for you

so I'll say goodbye

and I'm going back to new york city

where people live

in my reality

back to my life

yours was no good for me

need to feel the beat

of the street

in my life

back to my old address

nobody to impress

3000 miles away

and everydays a new day ya

I guess my love was not enough for you

so I'll say goodbye baby

and I'm going back to new york city

there people live

in my reality

all of my life

yours was no good for me

i need to feel the heat of the street

in my life

goodbye to hollywood

didn't do me any good

3000 miles away

where everyday is a brand new day, ay yah yah yah

soooo go on and say goodbye to all your friends

and the people we new ew ew

its better that it comes from you

and you can tell them what you want

cuz i tried so hard to make you happy baby

but I gotta go back

to my reality

back to my life

thats where I need to be

I need to feel the heat

of the streets ya ah

in my life, in my life, in my life

I need to be

feeling alright yeh ya

3000 miles away

its okay cuz everyday is a brand new day ya

so say ya ya ya say goodbye to all your friends

and the people that you used to know

cuz I've gotta go

and you can tell them what you want baby

cuz I tried so very very hard

to make you oh so happy but baby baby

I'll pack my bags

I gotta go
