"I Love New York" is a song by Madonna from her tenth studio album Confessions on a Dance Floor.
Background
This song finds Madonna lyrically spurning her adopted hometown and other cities she's spent time in to praise the Big Apple. "Los Angeles is for people who sleep/ Paris and London, baby, you can keep," she sings. Madonna said "Can't I love New York the best? There's enough room in my heart for other cities, and there's also a bit of irony in the song, you know. I actually wrote that while I was on tour and in New York, and I was loving the energy of being here and just feeling like I stuck my finger in an electric socket."
Lyrics
I don't like cities,
But I like New York.
Other places,
Make me feel like a dork.
Los Angeles is for,
People who sleep.
Paris and London,
Baby, you can keep,
Baby, you can keep,
Baby, you can keep,
Baby, you can keep,
Baby, you can keep,
Baby, you can keep,
Baby, you can keep,
Baby, you can keep,
Baby, you can keep.
Other cities always make me mad,
Other places always make me sad,
No other city ever made glad,
Except like New York.
I love New York...
I love New York...
I love New York.
If you don't like my attitude,
Then you can f off.
Just go to Texas,
Isn't there where they golf?
New York is not for little pussies who scream.
If you can't stand the heat,
Then get off my street,
Then get off my street,
Then get off my street,
Then get off my street,
Then get off my street,
Then get off my street,
Then get off my street,
Then get off my street,
Then get off my street,
Then get off my street.
Other cities always make me mad,
Other places always make me sad,
No other city ever made me glad,
Except New York...
I love New York...
I love New York...
I love New York.
I love New York (Get off of my street),
I love New York (Get off of my street),
I love New York (Get off of my street),
I love New York (Get off of my street).
Then get off my street,
Then get off my street,
Then get off my street,
Then get off my street,
Then get off my street,
Then get off my street,
Then get off my street,
Then get off my street,
Then get off my street.
