Tanita Tikaram - Happy Taxi lyrics

Criss-cross laces

You have the centre

You have the cinnamon

In the centre

You shouldn't be alone

You should just pick up yourself

And shine yourself

And make yourself fit a brand new, maybe

In the side streets

You been walking

I have been walking too

So, you know the faces

You know how they'll flirt with you

Well, I know my favourite language

Well, it trickles down my mouth

If this is me being close to you

Being somewhere like the last night

We spend together

That is something next to nothing

That is something

So, I got my truth of many colours

I got my fears

Another shade

But when I'm riding my happy taxi

I guess I got it made

Who's that creeping

In the street there?

Who's that creeping

By your window?

She might know something

She might show you

Some things you never really want to share forever

Mean forever

'Cos it feels so slow

We drove out like something special

In our special rags

Well, I know that something special happens

When we drive our sad to happy

We go driving

In our happy taxi

Happy taxi

I am not the first street preacher

Not the first to want to lead you

Not the first to leave your money

Not the first to leave your home

Not the first to leave forever

Glad to go

When love has gone

So where am I going?

Where am I going tonight?

So where am I staying?

In my happy moonlight?

In my happy taxi

In my happy taxi

In my happy taxi

In my happy taxi

In my happy taxi

In my happy taxi

Would you drive on down?

Would you drive on down?

Would you drive on down?

In my happy taxi

In my happy taxi
