"Trying To Catch A Cab In The Rain" lyrics

I'm calling just to let you know
I've been trying to get to you
It's raining tonight in this old city
And I'll tell you I'm soaked through and through
I've been waving at the passing cars
They're going by just like shooting stars
I'd like to be with you wherever you are tonight

Trying to catch a cab in the rain
Is like trying to flag down a train
Trying to catch a cab in the rain
It's a losing game

I'm stranded in no man's land
Where the bus don't run and the trains don't go
With no umbrella
It was sunny all afternoon
How was I to know
Hey mister, won't you stop for me
There's some place that I'd like to be
And somebody I'd love to see right now

Trying to catch a cab in the rain
Is like trying to flag down a train
Trying to catch a cab in the rain
It's a losing game

Up and down Broadway
Walking around, talking to myself
Could it be right
I can't see tonight or could it be left
The street lights are out
And I'm just stumbling around
I think I'm lost
What will it cost to get found in this town

Trying to catch a cab in the rain
Is like trying to flag down a train
Trying to catch a cab in the rain
It's a losing game
Trying to catch a cab in the rain
Is like trying to flag down a train
Trying to catch a cab in the rain
It's a losing game

Hey taxi over here
Over here taxi, right here
Oh please stop
Trying to catch a cab in the rain
Trying to catch a cab in the rain
Trying to catch a cab in the rain
