Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Standing in the rain
Cab comes into view
Ask me where am I goin' to
Running for so long
Been gone too many nights
And my heart has paid the price
[PreChorus]
This ain't Heaven
And this ain't the life I bargained for
Oh no
My reason for living
Isn't here inside this car
You know, I gotta get back to you
[Chorus]
Cab driver
Take me home
Spent too much time away
Too much time alone
Cab driver
Take me home
Spent too much time away from my baby
Oh yeah
[Verse 2]
I need familiar streets
To show me that you're near
Feeling like a stranger here
Oh, does the mirror show the miles on my face?
Am I goin' any place?
[PreChorus]
'Cause this ain't Heaven
And this ain't the life I was hopin' for
Oh no, oh no
My reason for living
Sure ain't here inside this car
You know I gotta get back to you
[Chorus]
Cab driver
Take me home
Spent too much time away
Too much time alone
Cab driver
Take me home
Spent too much time away from you, baby
[Chorus]
Oh, cab driver
Take me home
Too much time
Cab driver
Take me home
Spent too much time away from my baby
Oh yeah
[Bridge]
I need to see the look on your face
I really need, need to see your face
A kiss from your lips, oh, the taste, baby
Give me the kiss 'cause I really miss the taste
Nothing waiting for me but a lonely room
Girl, I gotta get back to you, baby, soon
Gotta get back soon
[Chorus]
Oh, cab driver
Take me home
Spent too much time away
Too much time alone
Cab driver
Take me home
Spent too much time away from you, baby
[Outro]
Oh, cab driver
Take me home
I spent too much time
And I gotta get back to you, baby
Cab driver
Take me home
See, it's a lonely world without you, babe
Without you, baby
Without you, babe
I can't go on
Cab driver
Oh-oh
Take me home
Oh-oh
Don't wanna go back to the empty room
I gotta get back to my baby, soon
Cab driver
Please
Take me home
Take me home
Take me home
Cab driver
Take me home
Gotta get back to my baby
Cab driver
Hey, hey
Take me home
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Too much time
Cab driver
Oh-oh-oh
Take me home
