Drive My Car
The Beats Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey!

You're just a little shy
There's something in your eyes
You could have any guy
If you only stick around a while

Yet you drive that boy around
Drive that boy around
Drive that boy around

You could teach the birds to sing
With the power you're denying
You could have everything
It only takes a little trying

Yet you drive that boy around
Drive that boy around
Drive that boy around

Ba ba ba da da da
Ba da da da

It must be something deep
That keeps you pushing aside
He doesn't even bother to read
What's held behind your eyes
He's too busy making up lies

Still you drive that boy around
Drive that boy around




You could be driving this boy around
You could be driving this boy around

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to The Beatles' song Drive My Car tell the story of someone who has been driving all night to get closer to the person they love. The singer is moving so fast and wanting the other person to try and hold on. There is a sense of urgency in the lyrics, with the heart going boom and a strange taste in the mouth. The singer has been sleeping in their car and promises to undress and caress the other person if they come out tonight. The night is pretty and young, and the singer wants to make love.


Some interpret the song to be about a man who wants to help a woman achieve fame in exchange for sexual favors. Paul McCartney has said that the song was based on a story told to him by a chauffeur who claimed to have driven two call girls to a job, leading McCartney to write the lyrics about a woman who could get anywhere in life as long as she gave him a ride. Others see it as a metaphor for the freewheeling nature of the 1960s.
