Little Red Corvette
Prince (The Artist) Lyrics

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 from the way you parked your car that our relationship wouldn't last. You're the type to only enjoy short-term flings and move on quickly.

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'm feeling foolish because I know you have been with many other partners before me, some of whom you didn't even use protection with. But since it was just a Saturday night, you seem to think it's acceptable behavior, while I'm left questioning what I have to gain from this relationship.

Little red Corvette Baby you're much too fast Little red Corvette You need a love that's gonna last
Your behavior and commitment issues are symbolized by the fast, flashy car you drive. You need to find someone who wants a lasting, committed relationship, rather than someone who idolizes your external qualities.

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 regret not closing my eyes when you took me to the place where you keep your horses, because when I saw all the photos of the people you've been with before me, I felt queasy and uncertain about our relationship.

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 started to worry about whether I was good enough for you or if I had the right qualities to sustain the relationship. But since it was just a Saturday night, you seemed to think it was acceptable, and asked if I had enough energy to keep up with your promiscuous lifestyle.

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)
Your body is so attractive that it should be illegal, and your behavior is starting to become borderline inappropriate. Move over and let me try to calm down your wild, intense sexual desires.

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
Once again, your fast-paced lifestyle and inability to commit is symbolized by your car. You need to slow down and find a partner who wants a lasting relationship, or you're going to crash and burn as you speed through life.

(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
Once again, the red Corvette is a metaphor for a quick, intense love affair that is likely to end in heartbreak. Your physical beauty is unmatched, but your inability to commit and your desire for fast-paced relationships is concerning. Your ride may be smooth, but you're heading in a dangerous direction.
