Happy Taxi Lyrics - Tanita Tikaram

Criss-cross laces 

You have the center 

You have the cinnamon 

In the center 

You shouldn't be alone 

You should just pick up yourself 

And shine yourself 

And make yourself fit a bran new maybe 

In the side streets 

You been walking 

I have been walking too 

So, you know the faces 

You know how they'll 

Flirt with you 

Well, I know my favorite language 

Well, it trickles down my mouth 

If this is me being close to you 

Being somewhere like 

The last night we spend together 

That is something 

Next to nothing 

That is something 

So, I got my truth of many colors 

I got my fears another shade 

But when I'm riding my happy taxi 

I guess I got it made 

Who's that creeping? 

In the street there 

Who's that creeping? 

By your window 

She might know something 

She might show you some things 

You never really want 

To share forever 

Mean forever 

'Cos it feels so slow 

We drove out like something special 

In our special rags 

Well, I know that something special happens 

When we drive our sad to happy 

We go driving 

In our happy taxi 

In our happy taxi 

I am not the 

First street preacher 

Not the first to 

Want to lead you 

Not the first to 

Leave your money 

Not the first to 

Leave your home 

Not the first to 

Leave forever 

Glad to go when 

Love has gone 

So where am I going? 

Where am I going tonight? 

So where am I staying? 

In my happy moonlight 

In my happy taxi 

In my happy taxi 

In my happy taxi 

In my happy taxi 

In my happy taxi 

In my happy taxi 

Would you drive on down? 

Would you drive on down? 

Would you drive on down? 

In my happy taxi 

In my happy
