I've been scratched, so I grew claws, I've been clawing at this windy city way too long People think it's safe for a kitty like me, but I've played with dogs and come up with fleas.
I've had friends and enemies Either can turn on you 180 degrees Eat or get eaten in these rigerous streets Always keep an eye or your gropin' me(?)
It's like every time I try to give someone a chance Every time I try to give a helping hand People don't appreciate the friend I am So what's the point of doing it again and again?
Maybe I'm just being negative Today's a new day and I should jump right in Put a smile on my face, catch a cab someplace, Maybe he'll be nice and ask my name
Hey, lady Step into my taxi Come into my cabbie I'll drive you through the city
Hey, lady Life is getting crazy Girl, you'll have to trust me Gonna make it safely
Hey Mr. Taxi Cab, hey hey hey Feels like I've been standing here all day I called the number twice, they said you were late. "But wait, how late?" - they hung up on my face.
And then you get here in your beat up car, I don't know who you think you are, and you clearly don't know who it is I am, So what's the point of telling you again and again?
So it's down two blocks, Hang a left at the light, When you get to Spring Street, make a right, alright? If you'd make it swift, that'd be so swell I'm trying to catch 'The Housewives of Beverly Hills.'
Man, your cab could use some T.L.C. I've no left eye but I don't like what I see (?) And you know how you said no one rides for free? Whatcha gonna pay me if I catch your disease?
Hey, lady Step into my taxi Come into my cabbie I'll drive you through the city
Hey, lady Life is getting crazy Girl, you'll have to trust me Gonna make it safely
All these cars put the 'ick' in 'Traffic', I guess we should talk, so the time will pass quick, But that doesn't mean I'm giving you a fat tip, What's you name, bro, you don't look like a Patrick.
Oh, my dad's calling, he gets on my nerves, Oh, you hadn't seen yours in 15 years? Or your two kids either, it can't be true It makes me think twice bout how I treated you.
I got in here and didn't ask how you're doing Like I'm the only one that's got worries brewing In my universe, population: one It's amazing how easily you can be so dumb.
Yes, you haven't walked in my high-heeled shoes But I know it doesn't mean I should be so rude Thanks for the ride and good luck to you Carry on Taxi Man and do what you do
