I'm sipping coffee at a quarter to two
Awake, and I'm dialing and my mind's running to you
No wonder I'm a one-woman man
She keeps my heart in a jar on a nightstand
I should tell her that she couldn't be more
Opposite than a foot in the door
There's no one else I would rather go out with
It's hell when I see them standing there
Me and my mouth, we don't mean to be rushin'
We talk about thee freely 'cause we crushin'
I'm gonna shake both sides of the butt, yeah
Theoretically, yes
Ain't we lucky?
And when the coyotes, they sing in the park
Is when the city life starts falling for the sea
Winding roads are winding down
And the flying men'll hit the ground
Every notion is closer to touching
The coyotes sing when they call on your loving
(Hello?)
We're coming back for more
You know why we're coming for you
You know we should be
We should be together
'Cause once we rock, we won't wanna stop
Not today or tomorrow
Not today or tomorrow, oh, no
You better lock your doors
You know why, 'cause we want you
'Cause we like you a lotta
Mm-mm
I wish the wild was alive like you
I wish the wind would blow me through
Another opportunity to approach you
Another telepathic rendezvous
I wish you well with your weapon of jargon
You've got a double-sided lexicon
I gotta try to keep your attention
Gotta write using less emoticons
Gotta figure out the snooze alarm
I wanna lay in your place 'til dawn
I wanna play in the park, come on
Now let me see your other upper echelon
Mm-mm, mm-mm
And when the coyotes escape to New York
Then the city life has crumbled to the sea
And the girls'll fall to the lost and found
The flying men'll hit the ground
Every notion is closer to touching
The coyotes sing when they feast on your loving
I'm a coyote and I got a taste for your loving
(We're coming back for more)
(You know why we're coming for you)
(You know we should be)
We should be together
Because once we rock, we won't wanna stop
Not today or tomorrow
Not today or tomorrow, oh, no
Because once we rock, we won't wanna stop
Not today or tomorrow
(We're coming back for more)
(You know why we're coming for you)
(You know we should be)
(We should be together)
('Cause once we rock, we won't wanna stop)
(Not today or tomorrow)
(Can you get a little closer to the mic?)
(Mm-kay)
