[00:02.30]
[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.
