lyrics

LYRICS:
Well it was too late to go home in the city of sin
Might as well keep going, and start it over again
She said it’s still a rat race, no matter which way it ends
Right before we hit the dance floor again

She said baby don’t let this car pass me
I try to tell you but you slap me, slap me
You’re taking off your bra and panties in the back of a taxi

‘Bout a buck fifty slipped away from me
By the time I got loaded up, ready to sleep
-Started talking about getting something else to drink
Then we were slippin’ and slidin’ down Frenchmen street

She said baby don’t let this car pass me
I try to tell you but you slap me, slap me
You’re taking off your bra and panties in the back of a taxi

Well you’re a real fine woman, you love me oh so right here in New Orleans
You got me testifying that I’m a proper man while I’m out howlin’ in the street
Whisper words in my ear girl, you know exactly what to say
But when another other man comes around, you know I’ll be leavin’ for the break of day

She said baby don’t let this car pass me
I try to tell you but you slap me, slap me
You’re taking off your bra and panties in the back of a taxi
