​

WE MET IN NEW YORK CITY

​

​

Verse 1

​

We met in New York City

at a central rooftop bar.

I told you I’m a salesman,

so had to travel far.

I set your expectations,

I said I don’t believe,

relationships are good for us.

You nodded and agreed.

 

Pre-Chorus

​

We kissed under the moonlight.

You wiped away a tear.

You said that you would miss me

and whispered in my ear -

 

Chorus

​

“I’ll follow you to Delaware,

Maryland and Maine.

I’ll visit you in Texas

to kiss you once again.

I’ll follow you to London,

Rome or Zanzibar.

I need to be beside you,

No matter where you are.”

 

Verse 2

​

My ego purred in happiness.

Glad she felt that way.

In passion I got giddy

responding ‘Any day’.

She took my hand and held It,

then took me for a walk.

She smiled at me so sweetly.

I didn’t need to talk.

​

Pre-Chorus

​

We kissed under the moonlight.

You wiped away a tear.

You said that you would miss me

and whispered in my ear -

 

Chorus

​

I’ll follow you to Delaware,

Maryland and Maine.

I’ll visit you in Texas

to kiss you once again.

I’ll follow you to London,

Rome or Zanzibar.

I need to be beside you,

no matter where you are.

 

Verse 3

​

But then I thought more clearly,

for visits wouldn’t work.

I didn’t want commitment.

I feared she would get hurt.

I told her that directly.

Her smile turned to a frown.

She cackled “I will find you.

I’ll always track you down!”

 

Chorus

​

I’ll follow you to Delaware,

Maryland and Maine.

I’ll visit you in Texas

to kiss you once again.

I’ll follow you to London,

Rome or Zanzibar.

I need to be beside you,

no matter where you are.

​

Bridge

​

She followed me across the state,

so I was filled with dread.

I hired my own bodyguard

and this is what he said.

 

Chorus

​

I’ll follow you to Delaware,

Maryland and Maine.

I’ll visit you in Texas

to keep you safe again.

I’ll follow you to London,

Rome or Zanzibar.

I need to be beside you,

no matter where you are.
