John Oates, Daryl Hall - Cab Driver Lyrics

Standing in the rain
Cab comes into view
Ask me where am I goin' to
Running for so long

Been gone too many nights
And my heart has paid the price
This ain't heaven
This ain't the life bargained for

My reason for living
Isn't here inside this car
Girl I gotta get back to you

[Chorus]
Cab driver
Take me home
Spent too much time away
Too much time alone
Cab driver
Take me home
Spent too much time away from my baby

I need familiar streets
To show that you're near
Feeling like a stranger here
Oh does the mirror show the miles on my face

Am I goin' any place?
This ain't heaven
This ain't the life I was hopin' for
My reason for living

Sure ain't here inside this car
You know I've gotta get back to you

[Chorus]

I need to see the look on your face
A kiss from your lips ... oh the taste baby
Nothing waiting for me but a lonely room
I've gotta get back to you baby - soon

[Chorus]
