[Intro]
(...City of love, City of love, City of love...)
[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 wonderlust
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
[Solo]
[Verse 6]
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
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
(...City of love, City of love, City of love...)
[Verse 1]
Once bitten, twice shy
No - No regrets at all

Good guys they spike you hard

We'll be waiting for the night to come

We'll be waiting for the night
