Just 18 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 (repeat refrain)
