The Cool Notes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You won′t get far
You reckon you'll roll me in your car
You′ll love me in your car
Oh it was a nice and starry night
(The moon shining bright)
The weather was cool and the breeze was light, yeah
My feelings were high and the mood was right
The mood was really right
Romancing and dancing by candlelight
Ooh yeah
Oh I felt so good
(I felt so good)
Driving with you
(Driving with you baby)
But then when you said the things you wanna do
Wanna do, ooh
The things you wanna do, ooh
You wanna love me in your car
You won't get far
You reckon you'll roll me in your car
You′ll love me in your car
You wanna love me in your car
Ooh, you won′t get far
You reckon you'll roll me in your car
You′ll love me in your car
Now we carried on and the revs got higher
But driving with you was my only desire, ooh
You turned up the sound on the radio
The music was so good
But I didn't know that you were raring to go
(Go)
Oh I felt so good
(I felt so good)
Driving with you
(Driving with you baby)
But then when you said the things you′re gonna do
Gonna do, ooh
The things you're gonna do, ooh
You wanna love me in your car
You won′t get far
You reckon you'll roll me in your car
You'll love me in your car
You wanna love me in your car
Ooh, you won′t get far, no
You reckon you′ll roll me in your car
You'll love me in your car
You′ll love me (always runnin')
You′ll rock me (keep it groovin')
You′ll roll me (now we're movin')
You′ll love me in your car
(I′m overdrivin') Are you gonna rock me?
(Revs are risin′) Are you gonna roll me?
(So excitin') You′ll love me in your car
(Always runnin') You′ll rock me
(Keep it groovin') You'll roll me
(Now we′re movin′) You'll love me in your car
(I′m overdrivin') Are you gonna rock me?
(Revs are risin′) Are you gonna roll me?
The Cool Notes's song "In Your Car" is a funky and upbeat track that revisits the retro sound of the '80s. The song is about a couple driving around at night with the possibility of intimacy in the car. The lyrics convey a sense of excitement and anticipation as the music pulsates and the car speeds on. The chorus plays on the notion of love in a car, but the verses are like a conversation where one person is pushing for intimacy while the other is trying to keep their distance.
The song starts by setting the scene of a romantic drive. The lyrics say it was a nice and starry night, and the weather was cool as the couple drove around. The music is upbeat and fits well with the scenery described in the lyrics. The singer talks about how great they felt driving around with their partner until they started pushing for intimacy. The chorus is repeated several times during the song, and it conveys a sense of desire for intimacy while not getting too serious.
The lyrics are catchy and well-written, and the instrumentation is funky and upbeat. The mix of the two creates an enjoyable track that takes the listener back to the 80s. The lyrics are fun and lighthearted, making the song an easy listen for fans of retro pop.
