G Em C G
You're sending me tulips, mistaken for lilies,
G Em F D
You give me your lip after punching me silly,
G Em C G

If I had any sense now, I wouldn't want it back again.

New Amsterdam, it's become much too much,
G Bb Am G
Will I have the possession of everything she touches,
G Bb Am G
Till I step on the brake to get out of her clutches?
G Bb Am G
Can I speak Double Dutch to a real double duchess?
G Em C G
Down on the mainspring, listen to the tick tock,
G Em F D
Clock all the faces that move in on your block,
G Em C G
Twice shy and dog tired because you've been bitten,
G Em F D
Everything you say now sounds like it was ghost written.
G Bb Am G
New Amsterdam, it's become much too much,
G Bb Am G
