She came from New York. Seems like a bright spark. Knew all the answers to the game. Moved to a new town. Soon pushed her way around. But you're a lady just the same. She went the wrong way. Tryin' to catch that boy. He only used her. Then broke her like a toy. Like a New York broken toy. Moved with the wrong pack. Hard headed well stacked. Drop her guard if you drop her name. Made all the wrong moves. Knew all the lines to use. Too many got burned in her flame. She went the wrong way. Tryin' to catch that boy. He only used her. Then he broke her like a toy. Like a New York broken toy. Since the news got around. Someone I brought up town. Needed a friend but no one came. She tried to change her views. But still she wasn't bad news. Don't ever lose at your own game. She went the wrong way. Tryin' to catch that boy. He only used her. Then he broke her like a toy. Like a New York broken toy.. .
