I've been looking for a driver who is qualified
So if you think that you're the one, step into my ride
I'm a fine cool supersonics speed machine
Got a sunroof top and a gangster lead

So if you feel it let me know, know, know
Come on now what you're waiting for, for, for
My engine's ready to explode, explode, explode
So start me up and watch me go, go, go

Get you where you wanna go, if you know what I mean
Got a ride that's smoother than a limousine
Can you handle the curves, can you run all the lights
If you can baby boy, than we can go all night
Cause it's zero to sixty in three point five
Baby you got the keys
Now shut up and drive, drive, drive
Shut up and drive, drive, drive

I got class like a fifty-seven Cadillac
Start over drive with a whole lot of boom in the back
You look like you can handle what's under my hood
You keeping saying that you will, boy I wish you would

So if you feel it let me know, know, know
Come on now what you're waiting for, for, for
My engine's ready to explode, explode, explode
So start me up and watch me go, go, go

Get you where you wanna go, if you know what I mean
Got a ride that's smoother than a limousine
Can you handle the curves, can you run all the lights
If you can baby boy, than we can go all night
Cause it's zero to sixty in three point five
Baby you got the keys
Now shut up and drive, drive, drive
Shut up and drive, drive, drive

You play that game, got what I got
Get it get it, don't stop, it's a sure shot
Ain't a Ferrari, huh boy, I'm sorry
I ain't need to worry, so step inside
And ride, ride, ride

So if you feel it let me know, know, know
Come on now what you're waiting for, for, for
My engine's ready to explode, explode, explode
So start me up and watch me go, go, go

Get you where you wanna go, if you know what I mean
Got a ride that's smoother than a limousine
Can you handle the curves, can you run all the lights
If you can baby boy, than we can go all night
Cause it's zero to sixty in three point five
Baby you got the keys
Now shut up and drive, drive, drive
Shut up and drive, drive, drive

Shut up and drive, drive, drive
Shut up and drive, drive, drive
Drive, drive, drive
