Washington Square - The Correspondents

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 peacock 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

You turn me on

You turn me on

You turn me on

You turn me on

You turn me on

You turn me on

You turn me on

You turn me on

You turn me on

You turn me on

It’s as clear as the ice melting in my glass

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

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

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

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)

You turn me on

You turn me on

You turn me on

You turn me on

You turn me on

You turn me on

You turn me on

You turn me on

You turn me on

You turn me on
