Many years since I was here
On the street I was passin' my time away
To the left and to the right
Buildings towering to the sky
It's outta sight in the dead night
Here I am and in this city
With a fistful of dollars
And baby, you'd better belive
Chorus:
I'm back, back in the New York groove
I'm back, back in the New York groove
I'm back, back in the New York groove
Back in the New York groove
In the New York groove
In the back of my Cadillac
A wicked lady, sittin' by my side
Sayin' "Where are we?"
Stop at third and forty-three, exit to the night
It's gonna be ecstacy
This place was meant for me
Feels so good tonight
Who cares about tomorrow?
So baby, you'd better belive
Chorus
I'm back, back in the New York groove (repeats out)
