Coyotes (from For a Girl in New York sessions) Songtext
von Jason Mraz

I′m sippin' coffee at a quarter to two
Awake and I′m dialin' and my mind is runnin' to you
No wonder I′m a one woman man
She keeps my heart in a jar on the 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 standin' 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 your butt, yeah
Theoretically yes, ain′t we lucky-ay-ay-ay-ay

And the coyotes they sing in the park
It′s just an awkward night in the life
The way you keep me from sleepin' in the dark


You better lock your door
You know why, we′re comin' for you
You know we should be de-de
We should be together
Because once we rock
We won′t wanna stop
Not today or tomorrow
Not today or tomorrow, oh no
You better lock your door
You know why, 'cause we want you
Yeah, we like you a lot-a

I wish the world was alive like you
I wish the wind would blow me me through
Another opportunity to approach you
Another telepathic rendezvous
I wish you well with your weapon of jargon
You got a double sided lexicon
I gotta try to keep your attention
Gotta write usin′ less emoticons
Gotta figure out the snooze alarm
I wanna lay in your place 'til dawn
I wanna play in the park, come on
Let me see your other upper echelo-o-o-o-o-n
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh woo-woo


And the coyotes escape to Bengal
And the city life has fallen for the sea
Windin' roads are windin′ down
And this flyin′ kid has hit the ground
Every notion is closer to touchin'
The coyotes sing when they feast
On your love
Oh, I wanna feast on your lovin′
I'm gonna feast on your lovin′
Woo

You better lock your door
You know why, we're comin′ for you
You know we should be-de-de-de
We should be together
Because once we rock
We won't wanna stop
Not today or tomorrow
Not today or tomorrow, oh no
You better lock your door
You know why, 'cause we want you
Yeah, we like you a lot-a
