The Correspondents - Washington Square

Better to have loved and lost than never loved at all Just love the lust you'll have the leap without the fall 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 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 ok 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, I'm surprised She laughs and tells me that I'm spraying 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 x 11 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 do's, why d'you do's, 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 there move, haste post haste This is lust at first sight Lets [locker?/knock?] 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 driving past us block by block I never ever ever want this cliche to stop Knowing that skyscrapers rise above I could of 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 x 4 You turn me on x 10
