I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel 
You were talking so brave and so sweet 
Giving me head on the unmade bed 
While the limousines wait in the street 

Those were the reasons 
And that was New York 
We were running for the money and the flesh 
And that was called love for the workers in song 
Probably still is for those of them left 

But you got away, didn't you babe? 
You just turned your back on the crowd 
You got away, I never once heard you say 
I need you 
I don't need you 
I need you 
I don't need you 
And all of that driving around 

I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel 
You were famous, your heart was a legend 
You told me again you preferred handsome men 
But for me you would make an exception 

And clenching your fist for the ones like us 
Who are oppressed by the figures of beauty 
You fixed yourself and said 
Well never mind we are ugly, but we have the music 

And then you got away, yeah, didn't you babe? 
You just turned your back on the crowd 
You got away, I never once heard you say 
I need you 
I don't need you 
I need you 
I don't need you 
And all of that driving around 

I don't mean to suggest that I loved you the best 
I can't keep track of each falling robin 
I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel 
That's all 
I don't even think of you that often
