Lyrics:
Man, man, what time is it
Man, I gotta hurry up and get there
I don't see no cabs nowhere
Yeah, there's one over there
Taxi, take me to
The other side of town
Just as fast as you can
Taxi, before my lady put me down
Please won't you hurry
Can't you see she's got me worried
I don't wanna lose her love
I don't wanna lose her
The crosstown is too slow
Hitchhiking is a no-no
She's all I'm thinking of
All I'm thinking of
Taxi, I've got some
Patching up to do
Yes, I have now
Taxi, like a fool
I broke her heart in two
Sure didn't mean to do it now
So start your meter running
And get your engine humming
I just wanna see her
Just wanna see her
With the pedal to the metal
There's this matter I've got to settle
I deceived her and oh
I know it grieves her, taxi
La da da da.
Taxi, take me to my baby's place
Just as fast as you can
Taxi, don't get me there too late
Sure don't wanna lose her
