I met this girl [Em]in a Birmingham taxi[D]
I got it first, but she slipped in before me
[C]Just as I was telling her, hey this is[D] mine 'ho
She already told the cab driver where to go
[G]Me I always show respect for the[Em] ladies
I sat back and let her[C] have it her way
[D]So good lord sees me through darkness and light
I tell you what I remembered from that night
[Em]I'm hungry, do you fancy a little something to eat? [D]
I can't go on forever on Cognac and weed
[C]But she was already on the way down in the seat [D]
I tried to stop her, or maybe I didn't
[G]So there I was in a strange situation
[Em]The chauffeur said I can drop you [C]off at the station
I said n[D]o man, no don't
I tell you when to stop keep your eyes on the road
You don't [Em]have to be gay to make a [D]friend feel good O[C]K
No, you don't ha[Am]ve to be gay to make a [G]friend feel good OK[Bm][C]
You don't [D]have to be gay to make a friend feel good OK
[Em]Two hours later, she was still at it[D]
