A concept that's been rattling in my head since I was 13. Making this the oldest song I've ever re-recorded.
lyrics
He drives me crazy, right up the damn wall. Shift quick, don't hesitate or I'll stall.
Well aren't you the know it all. That's okay, that's why I want you, come warm me up.
Hook: You're crazy, you're alright. Got me grinding for you, on the top of my car, in the middle of the night.
Chorus:
Can you handle my speed? My turns? My 12 cylinders yearns. Don't pop my clutch.
Lambo nor Ferrari, got nothin' on me. Work me to my limit, push it, Love it. and don't pop my clutch.
You got that special touch. Make me rev, to my limit, and I love it. Eat your heart out Andretti I know you won't pop my clutch.
It's sweeter than sugar, brighter than the sun. Painting like picasso, your words messing me up.
You don't hold me back, you make me stronger so it seems. But I want more. Drunk drinkin on your masterpiece.
Cause you got me 8k rpm. You got me hot, 1,000 horsepower under you baby. Don't pop, pop my clutch.
Can't get enough, touch and treat me right. Get me going all night, don't stop, don't pop my clutch.
