I met you out on the street
You were looking sexy sweet
You told me you had a man
I just had to take your hand
We jumped in a yellow cab
Shot straight up to my pad
We made love so out of sight
Right on through that New York night
Sure like the mess we're in
Sure like the mess we're in
Sure like the mess we're in
Sure do like the mess we're in
You were screaming "please don't stop"
Hearts were pounding knock knock knock
Someone breaking down my door
You're old man was looking sore
We ran down the fire escape
Hailed a cab and sped away
You were looking sexy sweet
We made love right on that seat
Sure like the mess we're in
Sure like the mess we're in
Sure like the mess we're in
Sure do like the mess we're in
Sure like the mess we're in
Sure like the mess we're in
Sure like the mess we're in
Come on, let's mess up again
