[Verse 1]
It takes a fast car lady to lead a double life
It takes a slow start lady if you want to do it twice
You take your backseat rumble
Take your front seat wife
[Refrain]
Takes a fast car lady to lead a double life
[Verse 2]
It takes a light foot lady to lead a double life
It takes a good book maybe if you want to do it nice
When you idle at the stop light you better get the signal right
[Refrain]
Light foot lady, you need a double life
[Chorus]
Well, lift me from the wondermaze
Alienation is the craze
And it's all gonna happen to you
You think it's a phase
And it's all gonna happen to you
When you drive in the haze
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
It takes a freeway lady to lead a double life
It takes some leeway lady if you want to do it twice
Neon blinking on the street
Everyone is bittersweet
[Refrain]
Freeway lady, you lead a double life
[Chorus]
Well, lift me from the wondermaze
Alienation is the craze
And it's all gonna happen to you
You think it's a phase
And it's all gonna happen to you
When you drive in the haze
[Outro]
It's all gonna happen to you
(It's all gonna happen to you)
That's right I said
And it's all gonna happen to you
That's right well
Gonna say it to you-oo
(It's all gonna happen to you)
Well that's right oh?
It's all gonna happen to you-oo, well
I said it's all gonna happen to you-oo-oo yeah
Gonna tell ya again, I said
(It's all gonna happen to you) well
