lyrics

I left harlem cuz a harlem man broke my heart.
I left harlem cuz a harlem man broke my heart.
I left harlem cuz a harlem man broke my heart.

When Im on lenox Im stuck looking for your face
You still haunt me even though you should be erased
I've wasted too much time wishing for your heart
Should know by now we were meant to be apart.

I left harlem cuz a harlem man broke my heart.
I left harlem cuz a harlem man broke my heart.
I left harlem cuz a harlem man broke my heart.
I left harlem cuz a harlem man broke my heart.

I get shudders as the redline hums your name
Im feeling silly cuz the blue line don't feel the same
Maybe in Brooklyn my heartbreak won't show
I need the D line to take me down another road.
I should leave this place and Replace the love you gave
Pick up my heart and find my renaissance another way.

I left harlem cuz a harlem man broke my heart.
I left harlem cuz a harlem man broke my heart.
I left harlem cuz a harlem man broke my heart.
I left harlem cuz a harlem man broke my heart.

When we first met
I never thought I would get into you
The smirk on your face
Reminiscent of so many men from the block
Catapulted me into disdain
You were no different but eventually I wanted you to be
A million men march down Broadway with the same swag as you
The same smile as you
The same shoes even
And As jazzy as you think you are
My soul can't take anymore of your rhythm
Go back to the club rats who hound you
Stand in the street and pray for jays with you
Play your games with you
But you should remember
They will never have your back
Because only queens can do that
And queens ain't Harlem
So I guess I should go now
Rejuvenate my dying heart that had me inside myself too many Harlem nights
Why don't you love me is not a question I'll ask myself anymore
Love is not a reason to lower myself anymore
Love is not a reason to settle anymore
And I love my blackness but Harlem ain't its mecca anymore so I guess I'll be leaving soon.

I left harlem cuz a harlem man broke my heart.
I left harlem cuz a harlem man broke my heart.
I left harlem cuz a harlem man broke my heart.
I left harlem cuz a harlem man broke my heart.
