"Take Me For A Ride" lyrics - SPARKS

Take me, take me
Take me, take me
Take me for a ride, ride
I don't know a thing about you
But I need a ride
Yes, I am a fugitive
But still I'm on your side, side
But they'll never ever take me
Take this boy alive

Take me, take me
Take me, take me
Take me for a ride, ride
Why, I wonder, did you stop
And offer me a ride?
You have got one heavy foot
We're going ninety-five, five
You seem like a girl in need of
Thrills to stay alive
With your Chevy Powerglide
You don't have to shift
To keep the lawmen far behind
With your Chevy Powerglide
We don't have to stop, no time

So take me, take me
Take me, take me
Take me for a ride, ride
Let's avoid all areas
That seem too gentrified
When you're hungry, we can stop
I just eat food that's fried, fried
My name's Johnny
What's your name?
You seem so dignified
With your Chevy Powerglide
We don't have to stop and hide

So take me, take me
Take me, take me
Take me for a ride, ride
I don't know a thing about you
But I need a ride
Let's go, let's go, Laura
Let's go, let's go, Laura
Faster, faster, Laura
Let's go, let's go, Laura
Let's go, let's go, Laura
Let's go, let's go, Laura
Faster, faster, Laura
Let's go, let's go, Laura

Roadblock dead ahead
We've got to crash it
Drive, girl, drive
They will never, never
Take this boy alive, alive
Now you're an accomplice
And I'm sorry, but that's life, girl
Floor it, floor it, floor it
We've now hit a hundred five
With your Chevy Powerglide
You don't have to shift
To keep the lawmen far behind
With your Chevy Powerglide
We don't have to stop, no time
So

They repeat this ritual each Friday night at nine
He is an accountant and she teaches kids design
Once a week, they live a moment that makes them alive
Fighting off the tedium of both their daily lives

Let's go, let's go, Laura
Let's go, let's go, Laura
Faster, faster, Laura
Let's go, let's go, Laura
Let's go, let's go, Laura
Let's go, let's go, Laura
Faster, faster, Laura
Let's go, let's go, Laura
Take me, take me
Take me, take me
Take me for a ride, ride
I don't know a thing about you
But I need a ride
Yes, I am a fugitive
But still I'm on your side, ride
But they'll never ever take me
Take this boy alive
