Well you think that I'm not lookin' but I'm lookin' and I like what I see
And you know I can see you in the mirror lookin' right back at me
It's closing time, you sidle up
and flirt a bit (and lucky day!) you say you'll pick up my tab
and whichever way I'm goin's your way, too, so let's share a cab

Chorus
------
(...please leave a message at the beep...)
Well hello it's me
I thought I'd call
and ask you How's Tricks?
Well if this is you
please call me back
212-555-eighy-four thirty-six

V2
--
Well we're standin' on the corner and you're smiling as you look in my eyes
You put your finger to my lips and tell me silence doesn't tell lies
The cabbie starts the meter as you
put your arms around me and we kiss for 17 blocks.
We tumble from the cab without a word and open the locks

(chorus)

Bridge
------
Well I get that we're not talkin'
I also get I won't get your name
But I find it shockin' the way we're interlockin'
The RPMs you're clockin' gonna leave me lame

V3
--
Well you know that I am lookin' now I'm lookin' and I like what I see
And I can see you lookin' in my ceiling mirror right back at me
It's almost dawn on Sunday we still
haven't said a word and I'm face down, passed out on the floor
You write you number backward on my butt and slip out the door

(chorus)

Well you think that I'm not lookin' but I'm lookin'
Then you know that I am lookin' and I like what I see
And you know I can see you in the mirror lookin' right back at...

You can see me in the mirror
I can see you in the mirror lookin' back at me...
