Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Stick shifts 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 3]
Well, stick shifts 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
[Outro]
Alright
