Love or hate

my love/hate relationship with...

There was a time when the air that I breathed from you made me sick

There was a time when I hated to go to you

maybe there still is a bit of hate me against you

but watching you makes me happy.

 

All of them come barging at your door every day

they want to smell you and breathe you

they want you to know that they were there

they need you to know that they love you.

 

I'm one of them I will admit it

I hated you (maybe I still do)

but I respect you

I respect your beauty and your soul.

 

Walking down one of your streets made me realize

that you're not bad at all

you embrace the millions coming to you

Theaters, food, Times Square.

 

I love you/hate you New York City

I love everything that you stand for

I hate the noise that they make

but I love the way that you don't care.

 

New York City the capital of the world

New York City on Broadway

New York City is my lover

New York City is my worst enemy.
