Lyrics
Cab Driver
You don?t have to like my friends, I don?t have to meet your parents
We both know where forever ends, certainly not in marriage
Time moves so fast when you sleep with your cab driver
Everytime we meet, it?s just like being brand new
He?s young and he?s partly Greek, but know what I?ll never do
And I won?t let him down and neither does he
The we drive all over town and the fare is free
He thinks I should eat read meat, because it?s got calories
I try to explain what they do to those calves in their pens
He don?t like to see two guys kissing, he thinks I?m a bohemian
He feels sorry for me because I?m a woman who?s free
He feels sorry for me cuz I?m a woman who?s free
He?s marry Albanian and I may not ever at all
I was his first American, he wasn?t my first brick wall
Now time moves so slow, now I?m paying for meters
Time moves so fast, when you sleep with your cab driver
Time moves so fast, when you sleep with your cab driver
