Stickshifts and safetybelts
Bucket seats have all got to go
When we're driving in the car
It makes my baby seem so far

I need you here with me
Not way over in a bucket seat
I need you to be here with me
Not way over in a bucket seat

But when we're driving in my Malibu
It's easy to get right next to you
I say, baby, scoot over please
And then she's right there next to me

I need you here with me
Not way over in a bucket seat

I need you to be here with me
Not way over in a bucket seat

Well a lot of good cars are Japanese
But when we're driving far
I need my baby
I need my baby next to me

Well, stickshifts and safetybelts
Bucket seats have all got to go
When we're driving in the car
It makes my baby seem so far

I need you here with me
Not way over in a bucket seat
I need you to be here with me
Not way over in a bucket seat
