Baby you can drive my car…

This Valentine’s day, here’s something for all the non-believers and for the fun people. According to McCartney, “‘Drive my car’ was an old blues euphemism for sex” The song was intended to be about a difficult girl who is into materialistic things, but ended up being a quirky love song. Enjoy!

 

Asked a girl what she wanted to be
She said baby, can’t you see
I wanna be famous, a star on the screen
But you can do something in between

Baby you can drive my car
Yes I’m gonna be a star
Baby you can drive my car
And maybe I’ll love you

I told that girl that my prospects were good
And she said baby, it’s understood
Working for peanuts is all very fine
But I can show you a better time

Baby you can drive my car
Yes I’m gonna be a star
Baby you can drive my car
And maybe I’ll love you
Beep beep’m beep beep yeah

Baby you can drive my car
Yes I’m gonna be a star
Baby you can drive my car
And maybe I’ll love you

I told that girl I can start right away
When she said listen babe I got something to say
I got no car and it’s breaking my heart
But I found a driver and that’s a start

Baby you can drive my car
Yes I’m gonna be a star
Baby you can drive my car
And maybe I’ll love you

Beep beep’m beep beep yeah
Beep beep’m beep beep yeah
Beep beep’m beep beep yeah
Beep beep’m beep beep yeah

Originally sung by the Beatles in 1965 and is written by John and Paul. Somehow could not catch hold of a Fab Four version of this song on Youtube.

    Hmm I somehow guessed the virginatthirty question was coming to you from someone and it did. Ditto Dilip and I read somewhere that a valentine is someone you love for one day on that day.
