Cab Driver
The song about the, I wrote the song in Rwanda, 'cause I live there
While time, one part of the year
And you know, sometimes it gets so lonely cold and dark there
More often than not
One time I just stand and wait for a cab to come, this song came to me
I just throw my hands at him, "stop for me men"
Here we go
Standing in the rain
The cab come into view
Ask me where am I goin' to
Running for so long
Been gone too many nights
And my heart has paid the price
This ain't Heaven
And this ain't the life I bargained for, oh no, oh no
Reason for leaving
Isn't here inside this car
You know, I gotta get back to you
Cab driver
Take me home
Spent too much time away
Too much time alone
Cab driver
Take me home
Spent too much time away from my baby
Oh no
I need familiar streets
Tell me that you're near
Feeling like a stranger here
Oh, does the mirror show the miles on my face?
Am I goin' any place?
'Cause this ain't Heaven
This ain't the life I was waitin' for, oh no, oh no
Reason for leaving
Sure ain't here inside this car
You know I gotta get back to you
Cab driver
Take me home
Spent too much time away
Too much time alone
Cab driver
Take me home
Spent too much time away from you, baby
From you babe
Cab driver (oh cab driver)
Take me home (take me home) hmm
Cab driver (cab driver)
Take me home (hey-hey, ha-haha)
(Huh huh huh)
I need to see the look on your face (I really need, need to see your face)
The kiss from your lips, oh, the taste, baby (the kiss from your lips, I really miss the taste)
Nothing waiting for me but a lonely room
Yeah, I gotta get back to my baby, soon (gotta get back soon)
Soon, soon, oh baby
Oh, cab driver take me home
Spent too much time away
Too much time alone
Cab driver
Take me home (gotta take me home)
Spent too much time away from my, baby

I don't wanna go back to the empty room
Gotta get back to my baby
