Little Red Corvette
Prince & The Revolution Lyrics

I guess I should've known
I should have realized

By the way you parked your car sideways
From the way you parked your car at an angle

That it wouldn't last
That our relationship wouldn't endure

See you're the kinda person
You are the type of person

That believes in makin' out once
Who believes in brief encounters

Love 'em and leave 'em fast
Engage in passionate love affairs and quickly move on

I guess I must be dumb
I must be foolish

'Cause you had a pocket full of horses
Because you had a stash of condoms

Trojan and some of them used
Including some that had been already used

But it was Saturday night
Despite that, it was a Saturday night

I guess that makes it all right
I suppose that justifies it

And you say, "what have I got to lose?"
And you ask, "what do I have to lose?"

And honey, I say
And my dear, I reply

Little red Corvette
You, my lover

Baby, you're much too fast, oh
You move too quickly, oh

Little red Corvette
You, my lover

You need a love that's gonna last
You require a lasting love

Guess I should've closed my eyes
Maybe I should have turned a blind eye

When you drove me to the place
When you took me to the location

Where your horses run free
Where you indulge in casual encounters

'Cause I felt a little ill
Because I felt a bit sick

When I saw all the pictures
Upon seeing all the photographs

Of the jockeys that were there before me
Of the previous lovers you had

Believe it or not
Whether you believe it or not

I started to worry
I began to feel anxious

I wondered if I had enough class
I questioned whether I was sophisticated enough

But it was Saturday night
Nevertheless, it was a Saturday night

I guess that makes it all right
I suppose that justifies it

And you say, "baby, have you got enough gas?"
And you ask, "darling, do you have enough energy?"

Oh, yeah
Oh, yes

A body like yours oughta be in jail
A physique like yours should be illegal

'Cause it's on the verge of bein' obscene
Because it tends to border on indecency

Move over, baby
Make room, my dear

Gimme the keys
Give me the car keys

I'm gonna try to tame your little red love machine
I will attempt to control your passionate nature

Honey, you got to slow down (got to slow down)
Seriousl, you need to calm down

'Cause if you don't, you're gonna run your
Because if you don't, you will ruin your

Little red Corvette right in the ground
Beloved car completely

Right down to the ground (honey, you got to slow down)
All the way to the bottom (you seriously need to calm down)

You, you, you got to slow down (little red Corvette)
You, you, you must slow down (my beloved)

You're movin' much too fast (too fast)
You are moving at an excessive speed (way too fast)

You need to find a love that's gonna last
You need to discover a lasting love

Girl, you got an ass like I never seen, ooh
Girl, you have an exceptional posterior, ooh

And the ride
And the experience

I say, the ride is so smooth
I must say, the experience is incredibly smooth

You must be a limousine, ooh
You must be an extremely luxurious car, ooh

Babe, you got to slow down (you got to slow down)
Darling, you seriously need to calm down

'Cause if you don't, 'cause if you don't
Because if you don't, because if you don't

You gonna run your body right into the ground (right into the ground)
You will completely exhaust yourself physically (completely)

Right into the ground (right into the ground)
Completely to the bottom (completely)

Oh
Oh

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
