The cab is outside You've finished your beer You're saying some sweet lines That I wanna hear But it don't take no Einstein to see that it's clear You're gonna break my heart tonight You're gonna break my heart tonight And girl that's alright It's black and it's white And if it ain't too much to ask Could you break it quite fast? Oh I'm right on the edge Seeing your clothes on the bed Oh I'll do what I can To take it like a man The old taxi driver Looks down to his feet The audience sit there in silence and Hold on to their seats For here comes the punchline So short and so mean You're gonna break my heart tonight You're gonna break my heart tonight And girl that's alright You've made up your mind You've got too much to swallow And you can't wait till tomorrow I'm right on the edge Seeing our clothes on the bed I'll do what I can To take it like a man
