Little red Corvette
Jeanne Added Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
By the way you parked your car sideways
That it wouldn't last
See you're the kinda person
That believes in makin' out once
Love 'em and leave 'em fast
I guess I must be dumb
Trojan and some of them used
But it was Saturday night
I guess that makes it all right
And you say what have I got to lose?
And honey I say
Little red Corvette
Baby you're much too fast
Little red Corvette
You need a love that's gonna last
I guess I should of closed my eyes
When you drove me to the place
Where your horses run free
'Cause I felt a little ill
When I saw all the pictures
Of the jockeys that were there before me
Believe it or not
I started to worry
I wondered if I had enough class
But it was Saturday night
I guess that makes it all right
And you say, "Baby, have you got enough gas?"
Oh yeah
Little red Corvette
Baby you're much to fast, yes you are
Little red Corvette
You need to find a love that's gonna last, ah huh
A body like yours (A body like yours)
Oughta be in jail (Oughta be in jail)
'Cause it's on the verge of bein' obscene
('Cause it's on the verge of bein' obscene)
Move over baby (Move over baby)
Gimme the keys (Gimme the keys)
I'm gonna try to tame your little red love machine
(I'm gonna try to tame your little red love machine)
Little red Corvette
Baby you're much to fast
Little red Corvette
You need to find a love that's gonna last
Little red Corvette
Honey you got to slow down (Got to slow down)
Little red Corvette
'Cause if you don't you gonna run your
Little red Corvette right in the ground
(Little red Corvette)
Right down to the ground (Honey you got to slow down) you, you, you got to
Slow down (Little red Corvette) you're movin' much too fast
(Too fast) you need to find a love that's gonna last
Girl, you got an ass like I never seen
And the ride,
I say the ride is so smooth
You must be a limousine
Baby you're much to fast
Little red Corvette
You need a love, you need a love that's
That's gonna last
(Little red Corvette)
Babe you got to slow down (you got to slow down)
Little red Corvette
'Cause if you don't, 'cause if you don't,
You gonna run your body right into the ground (Right into the ground)
Right into the ground (Right into the ground)
Right into the ground (Right into the ground)
Little red Corvette
In "Little Red Corvette," Jeanne Added sings about a brief, passionate encounter with someone who lives life in the fast lane. The lyrics suggest that she knew from the start that it was not going to last, but she went along with it anyway. The phrase "Little Red Corvette" serves as a metaphor for this fast-paced relationship, representing the thrill and danger that comes with it. The song is almost a cautionary tale, warning the listener not to get too caught up in the moment and to seek out a love that will last.
The first stanza describes a particular incident that the singer experienced with her lover, noting how he parked his car sideways in a manner that suggests a lack of care and forethought. The second stanza finds the singer questioning her own judgment, noting that her lover had used protection in the past but that it was a Saturday night, so they went ahead without it. She describes herself as feeling dumb for falling for someone like him, but also points out that she had nothing to lose.
The third stanza takes a somewhat darker turn, as the singer looks back on the relationship with a sense of regret. She recalls feeling ill when she saw images of past lovers, and wonders if she had enough class to be with someone like him. The final stanza expresses the singer's desire to try to take control of the situation, to "tame" her lover's "little red love machine," but acknowledges that this may be an impossible task. Ultimately, the song serves as a warning against reckless behavior and the dangers of living life too fast.
Line by Line Meaning
I guess I should of known
By the way you parked your car sideways
That it wouldn't last
See you're the kinda person
That believes in makin' out once
Love 'em and leave 'em fast
I should have realized that you were not looking for a serious relationship from the way you parked your car. You prefer one-night stands and quick hookups.
I guess I must be dumb
'Cause you had a pocket full of horses
Trojan and some of them used
But it was Saturday night
I guess that makes it all right
And you say what have I got to lose?
And honey I say
I am foolish for falling for your tricks. You had a pocketful of condoms and have used some of them before, but you convinced me to go along with it because it was Saturday night and I had nothing to lose.
Little red Corvette
Baby you're much too fast
Little red Corvette
You need a love that's gonna last
Your fast-paced lifestyle is not sustainable, and you need someone who is looking for a long-term relationship rather than a fleeting fling.
I guess I should of closed my eyes
When you drove me to the place
Where your horses run free
'Cause I felt a little ill
When I saw all the pictures
Of the jockeys that were there before me
I should have known better than to go with you to a place where you have been with many others before. Seeing all the pictures of your previous partners made me feel sick.
Believe it or not
I started to worry
I wondered if I had enough class
But it was Saturday night
I guess that makes it all right
And you say, "Baby, have you got enough gas?"
Oh yeah
I began to worry about whether I had enough class to be with you, but you brushed it off because it was Saturday night and asked if I had enough gas to keep going.

(I'm gonna try to tame your little red love machine)
Your body is so attractive that it should be illegal, and I want to try to control your sexual desires by taking control of your car.
Little red Corvette
Honey you got to slow down (Got to slow down)
Little red Corvette
'Cause if you don't you gonna run your
Little red Corvette right in the ground
You need to slow down and take things more slowly, or you will ruin your life and end up in a bad place.
Girl, you got an ass like I never seen
And the ride,
I say the ride is so smooth
You must be a limousine
Your physical attractiveness is next level, and being with you feels incredibly smooth and luxurious.
