She had poisoned his sweet mind
The wolves they howl
For my lost soul
I fell down
A deep black hole
He left me for another lady
She poured the drinks
And she poured the power
Diamond girl

And I was pleading
And I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I
Had to let him go

Her name was New York

She poisoned your sweet mind
She poisoned your sweet mind
