Must be nice to be young and pretty
To be the girl from New York City
Must be nice to be young and pretty
To be the girl from New York City
Well all the boys they want to hold your hand
And say you're their special one
And all the boys they want to kiss your lips
And caress you like a gun
But you don't want none of that, you say
You want to do just as you please
You just as soon be all alone
Than to be someone who will appease
Go on and get away
Go on and get away from me
I don't want to be with any of you
I'm the girl from NYC
Well all of the boys they got a thing for you
A big ol thing that goes down to their loins
And all of the boys they all dream of you
As being better than a girl from Des Moines
But you don't want to be a part of it
You just want what you want
And what you want is piece of mind
Not to be a phony debutante
