I knew that the time was right, so I moved on in and said hello
First we started talking, then we started walking
She said: "I live 'long the next bent, have you met my boyfriend?
He'll be waiting up for you"

 Chorus:
And there's no way out, girl, I've got my back against the wall
Oh there's no way out, I don't get no second chance at all
And there's no way out

I said: "hey, what's all this? I don't get off on playing games"
She smiled and she blew me a kiss, I saw my night go up in flames
He turned on the corner, night was getting warmer
Oh no, then I saw him coming, so I started running
This is like some crazy dream

chorus

(Instrumental break)

Late, late last night, I saw a face that broke my heart
I knew the time was right, oh baby, but I turned around and played it smart

No way out, girl, I've got my back against the wall
Oh there's no way out, I don't get no second chance at all

chorus

Yes there's no way out
