Every chance, every chance that I take I take it on the road Those kilometers and the red lights I was always looking left and right Oh, but I'm always crashing in the same car Jasmine, I saw you peeping As I pushed my foot down to the floor I was going round and round the hotel garage Must have been touching close to 94 Oh, but I'm always crashing in the same car Yeah yeah yeah yeah
