Just eighteen and the money's short
A victim of public transport
Made her smile with his best approach
And he checked her out and he checked his watch
Saying "alright the time is short
I wouldn't do anything to hurt you
The time is tide and I feel alright
So let's make a little love before my ship goes down
You know I've to go when the bus comes 'round"

She's a lovely girl but you're in a rush
The make-up hides her blushes
Find a place where there is no light
Gotta make your move or you walk tonight
Saying "alright relax a while
Of course I will respect you"
So let's make a little love before my ship goes down
You know I've to go when the bus comes 'round"

For a car
I could make it sweet in a warm back-seat
I could drive you far
If I only had a car
In a car
No more winter nights in the bus-stands light
Getting frost-bites
I've got to have a car

Spent all your loot on a brand new suit
But the zipper gives you problems
You within range when the weather changed
Just like her mind and washed away your chances
Not tonight
She's not the outdoor type
That's alright
Let's make a little love before my ship goes down
You know I've to go when the bus comes 'round

For a car
I could make it sweet in a warm back-seat
I could drive you far
If I only had a car
In a car
No more winter nights in the bus-stands light
Getting frost-bites
I've got to have a car
For a car
