Let Me Drive Your Car
White Hassle Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Do you think you could make some room
In your schedule

Do you think you could make some extra space
In you bed

Oh, Is there another pillow in your bed
Or would you rather I was dead

All I need is just one chance
And we could make a sweet romance
Do you think you could find it in your heart

To let me drive your car

Do you think I could have a taste
Of your apple (yip!)

Do you think we could go for lunch
Sometime

I'm not begging I'm just pleading if you will
Oh, Darling I'm feeling ill

If I seem to be sincere
Would you consider coming here
Do you think you could find it in your heart

To let me drive your car

Oh, do you think you could find it in your heart
To let me drive your car
