Chaka Khan – Chinatown lyrics
Yin yang
A feeling's evolving through me
Sweet and sour
Is the taste you bring

When I said goodbye, you loved me
When I turned to you, you turned away
When I was so gung-ho
He said let me go
He begged me to stay, stay, stay
If I try to find out what's on your mind
I'll find out in Chinatown

Chinatown
I don't know how to read you
Upside down
The signs will all mislead you
Like this town
You're such a mystery to me
Chinatown
I don't know how to read you
Upside down
The signs will all mislead you

I'll track you down
And you'll go crazy for me
So much smoke I can't get through to you
Eyes that I can't see

They stare me down
Here I'm chasin' you
Some crazy Fu Manchu
And it feels so wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong

When I try to find out what's on your mind
I'll find out in Chinatown

Chinatown
I don't know how to read you
Upside down
The signs will all mislead you
Like this town
You're such a mystery to me
Chinatown
I don't know how to read you
Upside down
The signs will all mislead you
