The hands on the clock seem to stick to the face

But the seconds are turning to minutes

And minutes to days

I try not to look at the grin on it's face

But I know that it knows that I gotta get out

Of this place

Time to close the day

Time to lock the door

time to greet the street

I'm so happy I'm walking on air

People staring but I don't care



Taxi, call a taxi, yellow taxi, taxi taxi

Don't take the subway don't go that way

`snot a safe way don't go that way

Gotta cross town don't want trouble

Got to get there on the double

She'll be waiting I'll be running

She'll be thinking I'm not coming



I can't wait to talk to you

Tell you what I'd like to do

We'll find a little restaurant

A little vino for the ambiance

In the candlelight we're holding hands



Time flies when you really

Don't want it to

The waiters are staring at me

But I've only got eyes for you

Leave us alone we don't wanna go home

Put your chairs on the tables

We can let ourselves out when you've gone

Time to take your home

Time to say goodnight

We don't wanna part

Let's be together tonight

Let's be together tonight



Taxi, call a taxi, yellow taxi, taxi taxi

Don't take the subway don't go that way

`snot a safe way we'll go our way

Gotta cross town back to my place

Pull the shades down screw the rat race

We're alone now undercover

Hang the sign out don't disturb



Now I'm really close to you

Tell you what I want to do

I wanna take you to a tropical place

Beneath the stars I'll see the love in your face

In the pale moonlight

We're holding hands

Following the footprints in the sand

It's been a hell of a day in the city

Now it's time to get away

Starve without your love

Starve without your love



Something's cook ? Arial to a tropical place

Beneath the stars I'll see the love in your face

In the pale moonlight

We're holding hands
