City of Night

Taxi Cab, Taxi Cab, at the light
Won't you take me on a ride through this city of night?
I got some money and I'm feeling fine
I ain't in no hurry so just take your time

Some people wanna die young and gloriously
But, Taxi Cab driver, well, that ain't me
I got a cute little baby down at 12th and Vine
And she opens for business just about closing time

Ah hey hey
Ah hey hey
City of night
City of night

And I don't believe what I see in this street
I don't know how they can take the heat
Well, baby, I'm a liar, I'm a cheat and I don't care
I got my money, I can take my fare

Ah hey hey
Ah hey hey
City of night
City of night

I'm riding tonight to see my sugar girl
You know she wears that dress without a care in the world
Got some loving that's as bright as the sun
And she brings it with her man when she comes

Hey hey
City of night
Ah-hey, ah-hey
City of night
Ride on

The way your heart beats when I hold you tight
The way you sigh when we kiss goodnight
The way the wind blows through the trees
Well hey, that's the way you belong to me

The way you warm me, baby when I'm cold
The way you make me want you, body and soul
The way the rivers run to the sea
Well hey, that's the way you belong to me

The way you soothe me when I'm in pain
The way you make the blood rush in my veins
The way the winds rush through the trees
Well hey, that's the way you belong to me

When I lose faith you take my hand
The way you make me feel like I'm a man
The way the sun belongs to the sea
Well hey, that's the way you belong to me

The way you make me feel like I belong
And if I could, girl, though I know it'd be wrong
I'd lock you deep inside 'til the last rains fall
And hide you from the emptiness of it all

Sometimes at night, I lie awake
I pull you close and feel each breath you take
The way the rivers belong to the seas
Well hey, that's the way you belong to me
Well hey, that's the way you belong to me

Hmmmmm
Hmmmmm
Hmmmmm
Hmmmmm
Hmmmmm
