stickshifts and safetybelts
bucket seats have all got to go
when we´re driving in the car
it makes my baby seem so far
i need you here with me
not way over in a bucket seat
i need you to be here with me
not way over in a bucket seat
but when we´re driving in my malibu
it´s easy to get right next to you
i say, "baby, scoot over, please"
and then she´s right there next to me
i need you here with me
not way over in a bucket seat
i need you to be here with me
not way over in a bucket seat

well a lot of good cars are Japanese
but when we´re driving far
i need my baby - i need my baby next to me

well, stickshifts and safetybelts
bucket seats have all got to go
when we´re driving in the car
it makes my baby seem so far
i need you here with me
not way over in a bucket seat
i need you to be here with me
not way over in a bucket seat
