Gimme The Car Lyrics


Come on dad Gimme The Car tonight

Come on dad gimme the car tonight

I got this girl I wanna....

Come on dad gimme the car

Come on dad gimme the car tonight

I tell'ya what I'm gonna do

I'm gonna pick her up

I'm gonna get her drunk

i'm gonna make her cry

I'm gonna get her high

I'm gonna make her laugh

I'm gonna make her...shh

woman, woman, woman

she gotta knows she's it

cause I'm gonna touch her

all over her body

gonna touch her

all over her body

gonna touch her

all over her body

gonna touch her

all over her body

and she can touch me

all over my body

she can touch me

all over my body

she can touch me

all over my body

she can touch me

all over my body

time goes by I can feel myself growing old

burning inside makin' this boy turn out cold

What's wrong, What's right

I don't care when I hate my life

What's wrong, What's right

why'know people don't care when they hate their life

but how can I explain personal pain

how can I explain personal pain

how can I explain my voice is in vain

how can I explain the deep down

driving, driving, driving,

weredriving, weredriving, weredriving

hey dad speaking of driving

come on dad gimme the car tonight

so much he don't understand

just might never make it to a man

Come on dad gimme the car

I ain't no runt

come on girl gimme your...

cause I ain't had much to live for

I ain't had much to live for

why'know I ain't had much to live for

why'know I ain't had much to live for

Gimme The Car
  • This song is about someone trying to talk his dad into letting him have the car for the night for the sole purpose of date-raping someone he knows, probably by intoxicating her and taking advantage while she is helpless. Lead singer/songwriter Gordon Gano has said that this song is in no way autobiographic, but rather a snapshot of teen angst that (almost) everyone has encountered at least once. He also says that it's one of his parents least favorite Femmes songs, though they are always supportive of his musical ventures. (thanks, James - Iowa City, IA)
  • Gordon Gano was expelled from his school because of this song. He was asked to play an appropriate song for an assembly and he played this instead. The Femmes made a reference to this event in a song called "Kiss Off." When Gano sings, "this will go down on your permanent record," he is referring to his expulsion.
  • Along with "Ugly," this is a bonus track featured on the reissue of The Femmes debut 1983 album. It can also be found on the compilation album Add It Up: 1983-1993. (thanks, Kristy - La Porte City, IA)
