[Verse] Rain hits the pavement I call the cab and it's half past three Your words are weighted My heart's on the dash but it's out of reach [Chorus] 3 a.m. in New York City And you are leaving me 3 a.m. in New York City And you are leaving me 3 a.m. in New York City And you are leaving me [Verse 2] Now you're a stranger I'm losing you in the NYC And I'm in danger Losing myself as you say goodbye [Chorus] 3 a.m. in New York City And you are leaving me 3 a.m. in New York City And you are leaving me 3 a.m. in New York City And you are leaving me [Bridge] It's like a taxi that just won't stop It's like a movie and I'm the cop And now I'm the one left in the rain And you're the one that got away [Chorus] 3 a.m. in New York City And you are leaving me 3 a.m. in New York City And you are leaving me 3 a.m. in New York City And you are leaving me [Verse] Three A.M. in New York City A taxi cab I wanted it to be you I wanted it to be you so badly [Chorus] I wanted it to be you I wanted it to be you so badly [Verse 2] I can't sleep I can't breathe It's pouring down rain And I was hoping that you'd be here [Chorus] I wanted it to be you I wanted it to be you so badly I wanted it to be you I wanted it to be you so badly
