Key:

I reme mber you w ell in the C helsea Hot el

You were t alking so bra ve and so sw eet.

G iving me h ead on the u nmade b ed

While the li mousines wait in the st reet

T hose were the reasons and t hat was New York

We were r unning for the m oney and the fle sh

And t hat was called love for t he workers in song

Probably s till is for those of them l eft.

Ah but yo u got away did n't you baby?

You just t urned your ba ck on the cro wd.

Y ou got away I never on ce heard you say

"I n eed you I don't n eed you I n eed you I don't n eed you"

And al l of that Driving a round.

I remem ber you w ell in the C helsea Hotel

You were famous your he art was a l egend.

You tol d me again you preferred hand some men

But for me you would m ake an excepti on.

And c lenching your fist for the on es like us

Who are op pressed by the fi gures of bea uty

You fi xed yourself you said "We ll never mind

We are ugly but we have the mu sic."

Ah but yo u got away did n't you baby?

You just t urned your ba ck on the cro wd.

Y ou got away I never on ce heard you say

"I n eed you I don't n eed you I n eed you I don't n eed you"

And al l of that Driving a round.

I don't m ean to sug gest that I l oved you the b est

I can't ke ep track of e ach fallen r obin.

I r emember you w ell in the C helsea Hot el

That's a ll I don't think of you that oft en
