"Lady Cab Driver" Lyrics

Buy from iTunes: Prince - 1999 - Lady Cab Driver

Taxi! Taxi!
Lady cab driver, can U take me 4 a ride?
Don't know where I'm goin'
Cuz I don't know where I've been
So put your foot on the gas, let's drive
Lady, don't ask questions
I promise I'll tell U no lies
Trouble winds are blowin', I'm growin' cold
Get me outta here, I feel I'm gonna die

Chorus:
Lady cab driver
Roll up your window fast
Lately trouble winds are blowin' hard
And I don't know if I can last

Lady, I'm so lonely
I know that's not the way 2 be
Don't want isolation, but the air, it makes me cold
Drive it, baby, drive it, drive this demon out of me
Take me 2 your mansion
Honey, let's go everywhere
Help me girl, I'm drownin', mass confusion in my head
Will U accept my tears 2 pay the fare?

Chorus
Oh!
Lady cab driver, can U take me 4 a ride? (Hey, that's my taxi)

Chorus

This is 4 the cab U have 2 drive 4 no money at all
This is 4 why I wasn't born like my brother, handsome and tall
This is 4 politicians who are bored and believe in war
And this... mmm, yeah, that's 4 me, that's who that one's 4
This is 4 discrimination and egotists who think supreme
And this is 4 whoever taught U how 2 kiss in designer jeans
Uhh! That one's 4, that one's 4 where U have 2 live
This one's 4 the rich - not all of 'em, just the greedy
The ones that don't know how 2 give
This one's 4 Yosemite Sam and the tourists at Disneyland
This one... ooh, yeah, that's the one
That's 4, that's 4 the creator of man
This is 4 the sun, moon, stars, tourists at Disneyland
This is 4 the ocean, the sea, the shore
This is 4... and that's 4 U, that's who that one's 4
This is 4 the women so beautifully complex
This one's 4 love without sex
This is 4 the wind that blows no matter how fast or slow
Not knowing where I'm going is galaxies better
Than not having a place 2 go
Now I know (Now I know)

Lady cab driver {x7}
(Hey, that's my taxi)
