Turning pages. glancing through the classified 
The whole night's sleep was in my eyes 
Spilling coffee on my shoes, I noticed you 
Saw it all in black and white: "The Broadway Girl 
Makes Good Tonight" 
Then some old friend decides to phone 
To ask me how I got to know
Read it in the New York Times 
It was a smile I recognized 
With an unfamiliar- name and another fool by your side 
And it really hurt my pride 
'Cause it's a bitch to realize 
You're only second prize, just another New York time
Sunday afternoon, and those old movies make me cry 
I'll never know the reasons why 
Don't know why I waste my time recalling lines 
From a letter by the bed, much better left unread 
But old times come on back again when you 
Think you heard the last of them
I read it in the New York Times 
It was a smile I recognized 
With an unfamiliar name and another fool by your side 
And it really hurt my pride 
'Cause it's a bitch realize 
You're only second prize, just another New York time
