[Verse 1]
Stickshifts and safety belts
Bucket seats have all got to go
When we're driving in the car
It makes my baby seem so far

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
I need you here with me
And not way over in a bucket seat
I need you to be here with me
Not way over in a bucket seat
Alright

[Bridge]
Well, a lot of good cars are Japanese
Yeah, but when we're driving far, I need my baby
I need my baby next to me
Huh-huh
[Verse 1]
Well, stickshifts and safety belts
Bucket seats have all got to go
When we're driving in the car
It makes my baby seem so far

[Chorus]
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, oh no
Alright
