Stopping Traffic

It was a date night
All the Friday night girls are good looking
Was a late night
All the after hours spots are still cooking
And you don't have to go very far
To get a standing ovation at the bar
I see you're dressed to kill if you need to you will
You've done it before it's not hard
Stopping traffic
And keeping the night alive
You can't tell me
It's something that you never tried
You'd show
Just when I was tryin' to forget you
Put on a good show
When your Samurai style would let you
I know you're just at that age
When you're going through men like a stage
You tore through me like I was no mystery
You read me then ripped out the page
Stopping traffic and keeping the night alive
You can't tell me it's something that you never tried
You swore when you left you hadn't but I know you lied (Oooh)
Stopping traffic and keeping the night alive
You swore when you left you hadn't but I know you lied (Oooh)
Stopping traffic and keeping the night alive
