Lyrics
SUBWAY LOVE GAME
I saw him on the A train one hot summer afternoon
He just kept staring at me
As I tried to read my book and pay him no attention
He just kept staring at me
Would I be wrong to show no love
Would I be wrong to show no love
As the train approaches 14th Street
Out the corner of my eye
I can see he wanted to get off 'cause that was his stop, Ooo
Then he done went and changed his mind
He made me smile, he made me smile
Would I be wrong to show no love
Subway Love Game
Riding on the New York Subway
Subway Love Game
New York, New York sounds so nice they named it twice
Subway Love Game
Ooo
(Walked over to my seat) He stepped over to me and
(Sat right down next me) He sat right down next to me I didn't ask him to
Asked me what was my name (My name is Karen)
I replied, "Do you like the game?"
Do you like it? Do you like the game, the game, the Subway game on the A train
Subway Love Game (4Xs)
My destination is Brooklyn, Woo hoo!!
I don't know where he's going
As I ride downtown I must admit I like the attention
It's my mind that he's blowin'
He made me smile, I closed my book
As I looked up, gave him a sexy look
That's all it took
Subway Love Game (4Xs)
The A, the B, the C, the D
The E, the 1, the 2, the 3
C'mon and ride, let's take a ride,
C'mon and ride, let's take a ride, C'mon and ride
Subway Love Game (4Xs)
The A, the B, the C, the D
The E, the 1, the 2, the 3
C'mon and ride, let's take a ride,
C'mon and ride, let's take a ride, C'mon and ride
