Correspondents - Washington square lyrics

It's better to have loved and lost than never loved at all Just love the lust, you'll have the leap without the fall Your best friend asked if I am straight or gay I can understand the question when I dance this way Straight I said, he said that's okay Some other little something might be coming your way A little while later and up you slide Sipping on your drink, I'm making moves on the side I've got to impress her with my mating routine Show her something no New Yorker will have ever seen So I pull out the peaco*k knees of surprise She laughs and tells me that I sprayed sweat in her eyes I apologise, stand still on the spot She puts her hand on my back and says wow you're hot You turn me on It's as clear as the ice melting in my gla** There was no need for questions to be asked Hear the how d'you dos, why d'you dos, political views, you've heard the news The oh my god it's different here, you have to tip with every beer It's clear, so little time to waste Make the move, haste post haste This is lust at first sight Let's knock at the night 'til it retreats to light I'm in New York making out in the back of a cab And she's giving me her body to taste, touch and grab I'm fulfilling a cliche, ticking a box Big Apple, yellow cab and an American fox The city gliding past us block by block I never ever ever want this cliché to stop Knowing that skyscrapers rise above I could have sworn I felt a crazy little surge of love The love of lust, directed at you Do you feel the same way too Please tell me that you do And we can love lust the whole night through They say it's better to have loved and lost than never loved at all Just love the lust, you'll have the leap without the fall You turn me on
