Lyrics
[Intro]
Hoo-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
This is the old town 2 train
42nd street next, watch the closing doors
[Verse 1]
There's a baby girl (That I know)
And she's so fine
I meet her every day (After school)
Walk her to the train to spend some time
'Cause what her papa don't know
Won't hurt me
Mama thinks that I'm a cutie
She can't wait 'til her sweet sixteen
'Cause we just tryin' to do our thing
[Chorus]
So I meet her at the 2 train everyday
Ridin' all the way to 110th
I get to hold her hand
Whisper in her ear
The only time I get the time
Is on the 2 train (Is on the 2 train, is on the 2 train)
Is on the 2 train (Is on the 2 train)
Yeah, let's go
[Verse 2]
We always meet in the back of the car
So none else can interrupt
So much to talk about (So little time)
I wish we didn't have to rush
'Cause by 42nd to have her listen
72nd, reminiscin'
96th street, prolly start kissin'
And I'm about to do my thang
[Chorus]
So I meet her at the 2 train everyday
Ridin' all the way to 110th
I get to hold her hand
Whisper in her ear
The only time I get the time
Is on the 2 train (Is on the 2 train, is on the 2 train)
Is on the 2 train (Is on the 2 train, ooh)
[Bridge]
I can't wait
'Til we won't have to worry 'bout what no one
Has to say
'Cause we'll be free, won't have to sneak around no more
But we're here now
And the future's not so far away
So until that day I'll say
[Chorus]
So I meet her at the 2 train everyday (Hey-ee, yeah)
Ridin' all the way to 110th (Ooh, baby)
I get to hold her hand
Whisper in her ear (Whisper in her ear)
The only time I get the time
Is on the 2 train (Is on the 2 train, is on the 2 train)
Is on the 2 train, 2 train
So I meet her at the 2 train everyday (I meet her at the 2 train)
Ridin' all the way to 110th
I get to hold her hand
Whisper in her ear (Whisper in her ear now)
The only time I get the time
Is on the 2 train (2 train)
Is on the 2 train (Do-do, do, dee-dee, dee, dee)
2 train (2 train)
[Outro]
Mm, mm, mm, mm, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
On the Bronx 'round 2 train, next stop 110th street
Is on the 2 train, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
