Man, man, what time is it?
Man, I gotta hurry up and get there
Oh, I don't see no cabs nowhere
Yeah, there's one over there
Taxi, take me to the other side of town
Just as fast as you can
Taxi!
Before my lady put me down
Please, won't you hurry?
Can't you see she's got me worried?
I don't wanna lose her love
I don't wanna lose her
The crosstown is too slow
Hitchhiking is a no-no
She's all I'm thinking of
All I'm thinking of
Taxi, I've got some patching up to do
Yes, I have now
Taxi, like a fool I broke her heart in two
Sure didn't mean to do it now
So start your meter running
And get your engine humming
I just wanna see her
Just wanna see her
Put the pedal to the metal
There's this matter I've got to settle
I deceived her
And, oh, I know it grieves her
Taxi!
Taxi, take me to my baby's place
Just as fast as you can
Taxi, don't get me there too late
Sure don't wanna lose her
The freeway will be quicker
Her new love is coming to get her
I'm going out of my mind
Going out of my mind
She's my reason for living
And this is why I'm willing
To run red lights, stop signs
Just as long as get there on time
Taxi, take me to the other side of town
Just as fast as you can
Taxi, before my lady puts me down
I don't wanna lose her love, no
Taxi!
