lyrics

There’s a girl who lives in New York State
They say what a pretty city what a pretty city
Let me rephrase
There’s a girl who lives Upstate
They say like Buffalo more like Toronto and then they go away

Cause who needs another girl who stays up too late
Doesn’t sleep or have a date
And obeys but doesn’t say that she does
And doesn’t wear glasses and probably should
And is gonna run off to Hollywood as soon as soon as she gets out of this place

So just let her know just let her know
Who's taking the high, taking the highroad
Just tell her who just tell her who
So she can make a reservation to see the whole world with you

There’s a boy who lives in New York State
They say what a pretty city what a pretty city
They ask him for his name and his address
But he’s too shy
I don’t know why
He’s just that kind of guy

Cause who needs another boy who stays up too late
Doesn’t sleep or have a date and obeys but doesn’t say that he does
And doesn't wear glasses and definitely should
And is gonna run off to Hollywood as soon as soon as he gets out of this place

So just let him know just let him know
Who's taking the high, taking the highroad
Just tell him who just tell him who
So he can make a reservation to see the whole world with you

With you
Make a reservation to see the world

So just let them know just let them know
Who's taking the high, taking the highroad
Just tell him who just tell him who
So they can make a reservation to see the whole world for two
