Hmm, hmm, there's no pity in the naked city, yeah
When you're all alone
And all your hard-earned money's gone
There just ain't no pity (there is no pity)
No no no, in the naked city, yeah

Help me now, hmm mmh
You'll go walking down broadway
Watching people catch the subway
Take it from me
Don't ask for a helping hand
Mmh, 'cause no one will understand
Ah, there's no pity, yeah
No no no, in the naked city, yeah
Ohh help me now, mmh mmh

(There's no pity)
Folks that don't know think it's very nice
(New York City)
It's the only place I know where hearts turn to ice
(There's no pity)
You can have a room and your neighbor next door
Will swear to someone like the ice man you don't live there no more

Mmmm, bright lights will find you
And they will mess you around
Let me tell ya, millions will watch you, have mercy now
As you sink right down to the ground
And there's no pity, yeah (there's no pity)
No, no, no, in the naked city, yeah, yeah, yeah (New York City)
Come on, help me now (there is no pity)
There's no pity (New York City)
No, no, no, in the naked city
