The lyrics of this song only loosely observe the grammar and syntax of the English language.
The lyricist/singer seems to be creating a sort of sound sculpture using words that happen to fit into a loose theme of hedonism, and probably prostitution, in the big city.
City of Love Lyrics
[Intro]
(City of love, City of love, City of love, City of love, City of love, City of love, City of love, City of love, City of love, City of love)
Hey!
[Verse 1]
Once bitten, twice shy
No no regrets at all
Justice, body smooth take over
Good girls they work the city
Good guys they spike you hard
How they jive and jingle
When you're in their backyard
[Verse 2]
Street corner wanderlust
Beckoning the good guy
Take this, get that
Have a good time
[Verse 3]
He young and tactile
He ready for anything that is
How they jive and jingle
They've read the book that gives
[Chorus]
We'll be waiting for the night
We'll be waiting for the night to come
[Chorus]
We'll be waiting for the night
We'll be waiting for the night to come
[Verse 4]
Supervise this good treatment
Alternative line by line
So the street guys so observant
Take him for a ride
Have a good time
[Verse 5]
Like a legend the man he's sharp
His woman gladly watching
As he strides out of the dark
Better be quick, get away
[Chorus]
We'll be waiting for the night
We'll be waiting for the night to come
[Chorus]
We'll be waiting for the night
We'll be waiting for the night to come
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 6]
Oh!
Good timing has its good price
One trick and you're stuck with the dice
How they jive and jingle
When you're their sacrifice
[Verse 7]
Fast as lightning
Go go get high, he's looking good
Once bitten, twice shy
No woman no cry
No woman don't cry
[Chorus]
We'll be waiting for the night
We'll be waiting for the night to come
[Chorus]
We'll be waiting for the night (Yes we will)
We'll be waiting for the night to come
[Chorus]
We'll be waiting for the night
We'll be waiting for the night to come
Oh! Oh!
