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.
