Prince › Lyrics › Lady Cab Driver

Taxi, taxi

Lady cab driver, can you take me for a ride?
Don't know where I'm goin'
'Cuz I don't know where I've been
So just put your foot on the gas, let's drive

Lady, don't ask questions
Promise I'll tell you no lies
Trouble winds are blowin', I'm growin' cold
Get me outta here, I feel I'm gonna die

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 to 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 to your mansion
Honey, let's go everywhere
Help me girl I'm drownin', mass confusion in my head
Will you accept my tears to pay the fare?

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

Lady cab driver, can you take me for a ride?

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

This is for the cab you have to drive, for no money at all
This is for why I wasn't born like my brother, handsome and tall
This is for politicians who are bored and believe in war
This yeah, that's for me, that's who that one's for

This is for discrimination and egotists, who think supreme
And this is for whoever taught you how to kiss in designer jeans
That one's for, that one's for, for you have to live
This one's for the rich, not all of 'em, just the greedy
The ones that don't know how to give

This one's for Yosemite Sam and the tourists at Disneyland
And this one, ooh yeah, that's the one
That's for, that's for the creator of man
This is for the sun, the moon, the stars, the tourists at Disneyland

This is for the ocean, the sea, the shore
This is for and that's for you and that's who that one's for
This is for the women, so beautifully complex
This one's for love without sex

This is for the wind that blows no matter how fast or slow
Not knowing where I'm going
This galaxy's better than not having a place to go
And now I know
(I know)

Lady cab driver

Lady cab driver
Lady cab driver
Lady cab driver

Lady cab driver
Lady cab driver
Lady cab driver
