歌词
I can't understand how I've gone astray
I should be sailing away on a liner
I was knocked on my back
On a dock at Yang-Tse
It's a hell of a way to see China
But I'm ready
You must be crazy
And you got no money
And you're a liar
My straits are dire from the
The wok into the fire
I'd like to trust you but
I've broken my rickshaw
Sometimes there's no hope in
In chasing opium
I'd like to love you
But I'm not sure what's in your eyes
Mmm Shanghai Surprise
Whatever you're saying
I want it anyway in
Been hanging 'round
Like a kid at your back door (Ooh babe)
You could be kinder
And show me Asia minor
I'll let you love me
Let you see what's here in my eyes
Shanghai Surprise
You must be crazy (Crazy)
And you got no money (Money)
And it seems like madness
Back streets so crowded that
No room to swing a cat
I'd like to know you
But you're acting so coolie
I'm finding out pursued by
Evil looking dudes it's
Getting hot for me like
Tofu when it deep fries
Oh Shanghai Surprise
But baby you look
Like Any common crook
That's hanging 'round in
Those real shady places (Ooh babe)
While you assess me
Why not try to impress me
Step over here let me
See what's there in your eyes
Oh Shanghai Surprise
I don't understand how I got delayed
I should be sailing today on a liner
Was kicked in the a** on a dock at Yang-Tse
It's no way for a man to see China
But I'm ready
You must be crazy (Crazy)
And you got no money (Money)
But you're a trier
My straits are dire from the
The wok into the fire
I'd like to meet you
But I've broken my chopstick
Sometimes there's no hope in
In chasing promises
I wanna love you though it
Could prove to be unwise
Shanghai Surprise
Whatever you're saying
I want it anyway in
Been hanging 'round for a
Ride on your rickshaw (Ooh babe)
You may correct me
Now that you've inspected me
Come over here let me
Feel you cut down to size
Oh Shanghai Surprise
My straits are dire from the
The wok into the fire
I'd like to know you but
I'm not really social
Sometimes it's no joke
Can't cope with opium
I'd like to love you
But I'm not sure what's in your eyes
Shanghai Surprise
Shanghai Surprise
Shanghai Surprise
