Nazareth - New York Broken Toy lyrics

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.
