Overdrive
Barbie Almalbis Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Alam mo, mayron akong pangarap sa buhay
Sana matupad na...

Magda-drive ako hanggang Baguio
Magda-drive ako hanggang Bicol
Magda-drive ako hanggang Batangas
Tapos magsu-swimming don sa beach.

Isasama ko ang boyfriend ko
Isasama ko kahit sinong may gusto
Kahit may kasama siyang aso
Basta't meron siyang baong sariling buto.

Magdadala ako ng pagkain
Burger, fries, tapsilog at siopao
Magda-drive ako hanggang Visayas
Magda-drive ako hanggang sa Mindanao

Magda-drive ako buong taon
Magda-drive ako habang-buhay
Magda-drive ako hanggang buwan
Please, please lang, turuan n'yo akong mag-drive.

Gusto kong matutong mag-drive
(Kahit na wala akong kotse)
Gusto kong matutong mag-drive
(Kahit na walang lisensiya)
Mag-drive.....drive.....
Drive............

Mag-drive....mag-drive......
Drive
