A Nanny In Manhattan Lyrics
[00:08.76] Here I go out the door of my apartment
[00:11.81] Before I miss my train
[00:13.83] And there's no way that is happening
[00:16.82] 'Cause my girl you see
[00:17.87] Has been doing things without me
[00:20.59] So I'm going to see
[00:21.10] What's been going on without me
[00:24.90] Is my ex a film critic?
[00:26.52] And now living as a nanny in Manhattan
[00:30.63] Hear this from me
[00:31.48] Some folks are telling jokes
[00:33.06] About the secrets she writes
[00:36.34] About all words for each and every one of those
[00:40.90] Songs about people that you know
[00:49.20] From the train to the car
[00:51.23] And as we drove I kept calling
[00:53.18] Leaving cute one liners there on your machine
[00:57.16] I'm looking in your window
[00:58.52] And there's some guy looking back at me
[01:02.02] Please tell me what the hell is happening
[01:05.02] Well, your ex, the film critic
[01:07.50] Is now living as a nanny in Manhattan
[01:10.77] Hear this from me
[01:12.16] Some folks are telling jokes
[01:13.94] About the things that she wrote
[01:17.22] Words for each and every one of those
[01:21.66] Songs about people that you know
[01:26.90] This is what I mean
[01:28.19] So it should sound mean
[01:29.46] It's just because you ain't actin' like a friend
[01:32.29] Like our last phone call
[01:33.75] Forget to chill
[01:35.19] You need to know
[01:36.12] And don't ever talk to me that way again
[01:39.25]
[00:11.81] Before I miss my train
[00:13.83] And there's no way that is happening
[00:16.82] 'Cause my girl you see
[00:17.87] Has been doing things without me
[00:20.59] So I'm going to see
[00:21.10] What's been going on without me
[00:24.90] Is my ex a film critic?
[00:26.52] And now living as a nanny in Manhattan
[00:30.63] Hear this from me
[00:31.48] Some folks are telling jokes
