[00:02.51] I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel,
[00:08.94] you were talking so brave and so sweet,
[00:14.93] giving me head on the unmade bed,
[00:20.10] while the limousines wait in the street.
[00:23.97]
[00:25.86] Those were the reasons and that was New York,
[00:30.83] we were running for the money and the flesh.
[00:36.72] And that was called love for the workers in song
[00:41.63] probably still is for those of them left.
[00:47.00] Ah but you got away, didn't you babe,
[00:52.73] you just turned your back on the crowd,
[00:57.61] you got away, I never once heard you say,
[01:02.83] I need you, I don't need you,
[01:07.92] I need you, I don't need you
[01:13.52] and all of that jiving around.
[01:17.05]
[01:21.34] I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel
[01:26.90] you were famous, your heart was a legend.
[01:32.65] You told me again you preferred handsome men
[01:37.46] but for me you would make an exception.
[01:42.85] And clenching your fist for the ones like us
[01:47.64] who are oppressed by the figures of beauty,
[01:53.53] you fixed yourself, you said,
[01:56.97] "Well never mind, we are ugly but we have the music."
[02:02.86]
[02:03.80] Ah but you got away, didn't you babe,
[02:09.53] you just turned your back on the crowd,
[02:14.83] you got away, I never once heard you say,
[02:19.74] I need you, I don't need you,
[02:24.96] I need you, I don't need you
[02:30.55] and all of that jiving around.
[02:33.70]
[02:38.10] I don't mean to suggest that I loved you the best,
[02:43.37] I can't keep track of each fallen robin.
[02:49.06] I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel,
[02:54.11] that's all, I don't even think of you that often.
