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)
