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
Three thousand miles away
And everyday's 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
Three thousand miles away
And everyday's 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
Three thousand 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
'Cause I tried so hard to make you happy baby
But I gotta go back
To my reality
Back to my life
That's where I need to be
I need to feel the heat
Of the streets ya a
