Washington Square Lyrics - Singles - The Correspondents

It's better to have and lost than never loved at all 

Just love the lust you'll have to leap without the fall 

Your best friend asked if I was 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 and making moves at my 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 apologize, 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 glass 

There was no need for questions to be asked 

Skip the how ya dos, what ya dos, political views you've hear 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 as 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 cliche to stop 

Knowing that sky scrappers rise above 

I could have swore 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 then never loved at all 

Just love the lust you'll have to leap without the fall 

You turn me on
