Just 18 and the moneys short
A victim of public transport
Made her smile with his best approach
And he checked her out and he checked his watch
Saying alright the time is short
I wouldnt do anything to hurt you
The time is tide and I feel alright
So lets make a little love before my ship goes down
You know Ive to go when the bus comes round

Shes a lovely girl but youre in a rush
The make-up hides her blushes
Find a place where there is no light
Gotta make your move or you walk tonight
Saying alright relax a while
Of course I will respect you
So lets make a little love before my ship goes down
You know Ive to go when the bus comes round

For a car
I could make it sweet in a warm back-seat
I could drive you far
If I only had a car
In a car
No more winter nights in the bus-stands light
Getting frost-bites
Ive got to have a car

Spent all your loot on a brand new suit
But the zipper gives you problems
You within range when the weather changed
Just like her mind and washed away your chances
Not tonight
Shes not the outdoor type
Thats alright
Lets make a little love before my ship goes down
You know Ive to go when the bus comes round

For a car
I could make it sweet in a warm back-seat
I could drive you far
If I only had a car
In a car
No more winter nights in the bus-stands light
Getting frost-bites
Ive got to have a car
For a car (repeat refrain)
