  • The telephone is ringing
    You've got me on the run
    I'm driving in my car now
    Anticipating fun

    I'm driving right up to you, babe
    I guess that you couldn't see, yeah yeah
    But you were under my wheels, honey
    Why don't you let me be?

    'Cause when you call me on the telephone, sayin'
    Take me to the show
    And then I said, "Honey, I just can't go
    Old lady's sick and I can't leave her home"

    Telephone is ringing
    You've got me on the run
    I'm driving in my car now
    I got you under my wheels

    I got you under my wheels
    I got you under my wheels
    Got you, under my wheels, yeah yeah
    I got you under my wheels

    Telephone is ringing
    You've got me on the run
    I'm driving in my car now
    Anticipating fun

    I'm driving right up to you, babe
    I guess that you couldn't see, yeah yeah yeah
    But you were under my wheels, honey
    Why don't you let me be? Yeah

    I got you under my wheels, yeah yeah
    I got you under my wheels, wheels wheels
    Got you, got you, got you
    Gotcha, gotcha, gotcha, gotcha, gotcha
    Gotcha, gotcha, gotcha, gotcha, gotcha, gotcha
    Under my wheels
    Got you under my wheels

  • Bob from DetroitUnder My Wheels was a phrase that we used in the early 1960s when we were car racing. Like “leaving you in the dust” or “eat my dust”, if you were far back in a car race, then you were “under my wheels”. He drives right up to her at a red light, he sees that she didn’t realize it, then he hits the gas. She then is speeding after him and has him on the run, and won’t let him be.
  • Jack from Mesa, AzThis song is about cheating on your old lady, getting harrassed by your secret girlfriend, gleefully anticipating killing said gf, then running over her? Alice!
  • Cyberpope from Richmond, CanadaCooper was an original! Marilyn Manson was a pathetic attempt to clone him. . . (David Bowie went at it, too, but more half-assed)

    I have several vinyl Alice Cooper originals -- love them -- can't get them on CDs or MP3s! (until I convert them all)
  • Cyberpope from Richmond, CanadaDidn't Def Leppard do a cover, too?
  • Mark from Lewistown, PaActually, one of AC's better numbers. A straight ahead rocker with a great horn section!
