[verse] storm moving in category three his clouds are dark and heavy a guarantee for misery weather man is warning says girl you better stay inside every one of my five senses is telling me to run and hide [pre-chorus] but there’s something in the wind whispering in my ear sweet, seductive pretty things takes away all my fears [chorus] you’re gonna pass on through the baddest storm in town but your sweet hurricane won’t knock me down you’re gonna pass on through destruction in your path but you’re my sweet hurricane and I’ll be dancing in your aftermath dancing in your aftermath [verse] your course is already charted I still won’t get out of your way guess I’m looking for some danger to make the pain go away I stand out in your thunder let your rain pound down on me still I sing as the storm blows on I’ve never felt so free [pre-chorus] cause there’s something in the wind whispering in my ear sweet, seductive pretty things took away all my fears [chorus] you’re gonna pass on through the baddest storm in town but your sweet hurricane won’t knock me down you’re gonna pass on through destruction in your path but you’re my sweet hurricane [coda] I’m tempting fate to fight me I dare your lightening to strike me while I soak in your storm like a bath I’m tempting fate to fight me I dare your lightening to strike me while I soak in your storm like a bath watch me dancing in your aftermath I am dancing in your aftermath see me dancing in your aftermath watch me dancing in your aftermath I am dancing in your aftermath see me dancing in your aftermath and you passed on through

[verse] You’d recognize the place where I’m from If you saw it on tv You’d recognize those streets those sounds Of that place that made me me You may also see all the trash And the cracks in the shine But all I see is all I love Of the place that is mine [chorus] I am one among the millions just another New York girl My city was made for me I’m just sharing it with the world [verse] You may get a smile from the lady taking money and giving change The man who passes on the street and looks at you strange Filled with different people holding different dreams But everybody shares one thing: they’re gonna make it by any means [chorus] I am one among the millions just another New York girl My city was made for me I’m just sharing it with the world [verse] Young mothers holding down two jobs hoping for more Undiscovered stars do their thang standing clear of the closing doors There’s an energy that never fades in the city that doesn’t sleep You gotta keep up or step aside before you get run over, BEEP BEEP! [chorus] I am one among the millions just another New York girl My city was made for me I’m just sharing it with the world [Rap by Sabac Red] [bridge] New York, New York 5x Just being there makes you part of it Just being there fills your heart with it Filled with different people holding different dreams But everybody shares one thing: they’re gonna make it by any means [chorus 2x] I am one among the millions just another New York girl My city was made for me I’m just sharing it with the world

[verse] if I were a house alone on a hill fence all around me wind rattling the window sill I’d be in ruin though once I stood strong walls caving in collapsed before long [verse] if I were a tree my roots will have risen my branches all bare my birdhouse a prison the seasons would leave me alone and unmoved my willow is weeping with no one to soothe [chorus] cause I’m nothing no I’m nothing I am nothing nothing without you no, I’m nothing I am nothing no I’m nothing nothing without you [verse] if I were the sea I’d swell in this storm capsize your heart make you cold when it’s warm my waves would be tidal and anger the moon whirlpools of sadness you’d be drowning soon [chorus] cause I’m nothing no I’m nothing I am nothing nothing without you no, I’m nothing I am nothing no I’m nothing nothing without you [bridge] I once was a mansion a proud oak a tranquil sea I used to have riches that were not lost on me [chorus] cause I’m nothing no I’m nothing I am nothing nothing without you no, I’m nothing I am nothing no I’m nothing nothing without you

[verse] I know you love her more than you love me and when you close your eyes it’s her you see I know if you could choose I’d lose and no magic spell will make this end well [pre-chorus] I’m still full speed ahead down this one-way street pushing all second thoughts into the back seat trying to give my heart a reason to beat [chorus] I’ll settle for (settle for) second best if it means hurting one (hurting one) second less I’ll be your… second best [verse] I know I am better than a back-up plan and it hurts to know you’d rather be her man I know one day I’ll walk away when it’s not worth all this hurt [pre-chorus] Now I’m full speed ahead down this one-way street pushing all second thoughts into the back seat trying to give my heart a reason to beat [chorus] I’ll settle for (settle for) second best if it means hurting one (hurting one) second less I’ll be your… [bridge] your loving is second hand but I’m no victim of circumstance you’re not my second chance I’d be gone with no second glance [chorus] I settle for (settle for) second best ‘cause it means hurting one (hurting one) second less I settle for (settle for) second best ‘cause it means hurting one (hurting one) second less you are my… second best
