Drive
The Script Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Who's gonna tell you when
It's too late
Who's gonna tell you things
Aren't so great
Y'can't go on
Thinking
Nothing's wrong
Who's gonna drive you home tonight

Who's gonna pick you up
When you fall
Who's gonna hang it up
When you call
Yeaheaheah
You can't go on
Thinking
That nothing's wrong
Owoahooahoa
Who's gonna drive you home tonight

Who's gonna drive you home
Who's gonna drive you home
Who's gonna drive you home
Tonight

Who's gonna drive you home
Who's gonna drive you home
Who's gonna drive you home
Tonight

Ooh
You can't go on
Thinking
That nothing's wrong
Who's gonna drive you home tonight

Yeeeaaaheah
You can't go on
Thinking
That nothing's wrong
Who's gonna drive you home tonight

Who's gonna drive you home
Who's gonna drive you home
Who's gonna drive you home
Who's gonna drive you home
Who's gonna drive you home
Who's gonna drive you home




Who's gonna drive you home
Tonight
