Lyrics by bernie taupin

Available on the album caribou



I've a constant ache in the morning light

It's on account of the night before

Some park lane lady in a shady bar

Took a fancy to the watch i wore



But i can still remember how she laughed at me

As i spun around and hit the bed

She said thank you honey, forget about the money

This pretty watch'll do instead





City living woman, you're so static

Matching your men with a hook and eye

If you're gonna spend the summer in new york city

Them women oh oh oh they're gonna slice your pie





Said you're so static, baby i've had it

Rolling in a yellow cab

Downtown hustlers trying to pull some muscle

If they catch you, oh oh oh it could turn out bad





It's a show me what you want, i'll show you what i've got

I can show you a real good time

She's a friend indeed of a friend in need

But you'll be sorry when she leaves you crying
