New York City left me in the fall
Said you didn't need not much at all
Cooked me dinner as the sun went back to sleep
You wore the night so well, Givenchy wouldn't speak
Let's talk all through the night
No need for introductions
I need to know you
Just like your hands do
I need to know you
Like the city knows you
Spent the night dancing to Dean Martin and Bing
Tripped over your voice and my left feet
Holding onto words I swore I'd never mean
I want to dance all through the night
No need for games, oh baby
I need to know you
Just like your hands do
I need to know you
Like the city knows you
And in the meantime I'll be waiting for an answer
Always left me wanting more
Left me wanting more
And I've stopped counting the days that you're not here
Clock ticks by the seconds last a year
Holding onto words I swore I'd never mean
But I need
To know you
Just like your hands do
I need to know you
Like the city knows you
I need to know you
