Lyrics:

Man, man what time is it
Man, I got to hurry up and get there
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

La da, da, da ...

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 want to 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 I 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 want to lose her love
