[00:12.75]I met this girl in a Birmingham taxi
[00:15.53]I got it first, but she slipped in before me
[00:17.78]Just as I was telling her, hey this is mine
[00:20.36]She already told the cab driver where to go
[00:22.97]Me I always show respect for the ladies
[00:25.32]I sat back and let her have it her way
[00:27.57]So good lord sees me through darkness and light
[00:30.00]I tell you what I remembered from that night
[00:32.99]I'm hungry, do you fancy a little something to eat?
[00:35.05]I can't go on forever on Cognac and weed
[00:37.67]But she was already on the way down in the seat
[00:40.49]I tried to stop her, or maybe I didn't
[00:42.77]So there I was in a strange situation
[00:44.61]The chauffeur said I can drop you off at the station
[00:47.61]I said no man, no don't
[00:50.10]I tell you when to stop keep your eyes on the road
