[00:17.410]	I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel,
[00:22.610]	You were talking so brave and so sweet,
[00:27.140]	Giving me head on the unmade bed,
[00:32.560]	While the limousines wait in the street.
[00:35.310]
[00:37.590]	Those were the reasons and that was New York,
[00:41.850]	We were running for the money and the flesh.
[00:45.600]
[00:47.410]	And that was called love for the workers in song
[00:53.630]	Probably still is for those of them left.
[00:57.740]	Ah but you got away, didn't you babe,
[01:00.990]
[01:02.560]	You just turned your back on the crowd,
[01:05.380]
[01:08.380]	You got away, I never once heard you say,
[01:13.170]	I need you, I don't need you,
[01:15.990]
[01:18.620]	I need you, I don't need you
[01:22.650]
[01:23.640]	And all of that jiving around.
[01:28.790]
[01:34.470]	I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel
[01:37.910]
[01:39.220]	You were famous, your heart was a legend.
[01:42.780]
[01:44.970]	You told me again you preferred handsome men
[01:48.600]
[01:49.720]	But for me you would make an exception.
[01:52.780]
[01:55.010]	And clenching your fist for the ones like us
[01:59.130]	Who are oppressed by the figures of beauty,
[02:03.780]
[02:05.410]	You fixed yourself, you said, ＂Well never mind, "
[02:09.970]
[02:10.540]	We are ugly but we have the music.＂ "
[02:14.100]
[02:18.100]	And then you got away, didn't you babe...
[02:20.310]
[02:55.660]	I don't mean to suggest that I loved you the best,
[03:00.300]	I can't keep track of each fallen robin.
[03:05.860]	I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel,
[03:10.800]	That's all, I don't even think of you that often.
