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
