Sit back, relax, enjoy the ride! Tell the boys in the bank, Put the gas in my tank, Polish your skin on my leather, In which position you rank. My car is fast, and it's big, It's one heck of a pig, It's a beast, get in, If you know what's best, Coerce the wind, No backing out, Concentrate, liberating, escape! [Chorus] Well? Sex Drive! Take a ride in my car, Sex Drive! Impress your friends, Sex Drive! Take a ride in my car, Sex Drive! See inside of my eyes, Sex Drive! Take a ride in my car, Sex Drive! Impress your friends, Sex Drive! Take a ride in my car. Excellerate with my spurge, Fell the engine purr, Just push the pedal to the metal, I 'wanna see you squirm, I'm double 'esque, And I'm lean, I'm one mean machine, I'm a beast, get in if you know what's best! We'll coerce the wind and kiss the sky, No backing out, it's satisfying!! [Chorus] Hit overdrive with me, Check your gas in extacy, Lick the sweat of my success, You're gonna love my winning streak, Go all the way with me, Pleased to meet, I'm a fantasy, Take a risk, you slide inside with me, Overdrive! Yeah!! Yeah, sit back, relax, enjoy the ride! The ride of your life, You'd better belt up baby, I'm 'gonna drive you crazy, Hit overdrive with me, Check your gas in extacy, Lick the sweat of my success, You're gonna love my winning streak, Go all the way with me, Pleased to meet, I'm a fantasy, Take a risk, you slide inside with me, Overdrive! [Chorus] Sex Drive! Take aride in my car, Sex Drive! Impress your friends, Sex Drive! Take a ride in my car, Sex Drive! Impress your friends, Sex Drive! Take a ride in my car, Sex Drive! Take a ride in my car, Sex Drive! Take a ride in my car, Wow!!
