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, yeah, 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

Well, I don't believe what I see on 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

Yeah, she 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

Right 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 till 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
