I was sleeping, gently napping

When I heard the phone

Who is on the other end talking

Am I even home

Did you see what she did to him

Did you hear what they said

Just a new york conversation

Rattling in my head

Oh, oh, my, and what shall we wear

Oh, oh, my, and who really cares

Just a new york conversation

Gossip all of the time

Did you hear who did what to whom

Happens all the time

Who has touched and who has dabbled

Here in the city of shows

Openings, closings, bad repartee

Everybody knows

Oh, how sad and why do we call

Oh, I'm glad to hear from you all

I am calling, yes I am calling

Just to speak to you

For I know this night will kill me

If I can't be with you

If I can't be with you
