Sex
Drive Like I Do Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

And this is how it starts
take your shoes off in the back of my van
Yeah my shirt looks so good
when it's just hanging off your back
And she said use your hands and my spare time
We've got one thing in common it's this tongue of mine
She said oh
She's got a boyfriend anyway.
It's only minutes before I drop you off
all we seem to do is talk about sex
She's got a boyfriend anyway

She's got a boyfriend anyway
I loved your friend when I saw his film
He's got a funny face but I like that cause he still looks cool
She's got a boyfriend anyway
She's got a boyfriend anyway

Now we're on the bed in my room and I'm about to fill his shoes
But you say no
You say no
Does he take care of you? Or could I easily fill his shoes
But you say no
You say no
And now we're just outside of town
And you're making your way down

She's got a boyfriend anyway
She's got a boyfriend anyway
And I'm not trying to stop you love
If we're gonna do anything we might as well just fuck

She's got a boyfriend anyway
She's got a boyfriend anyway
You've got your tongue pierced anyway
You're in your hightops any day
You're in your skinny jeans anyway
You and your fit friends anyway
I'd take them all out any day




They've all got back combs anyway
They all got boyfriends anyway.
