  • I've been looking for a driver who is qualified
    So if you think that you're the one step into my ride
    I'm a fine-tuned supersonic speed machine
    With a sunroof top and a gangster lean

    So if you feel me, let me know, know, know
    Come on now, what you waiting for, for, for?
    My engine's ready to explode, explode, explode
    So start me up and watch me go, go, go, go

    Get you where you wanna go, if you know what I mean
    Got a ride that's smoother than a limousine
    Can you handle the curves? Can you run all the lights?
    If you can, baby boy, then we can go all night
    'Cause I'm zero to sixty in 3.5
    Baby, you got the keys
    Now shut up and drive, drive, drive (drive)
    Shut up and drive, drive, drive (drive)

    I got class like a '57 Cadillac
    Got overdrive with a whole lot of boom in the back
    You look like you can handle what's under my hood
    You keep saying that you will, boy, I wish you would

    So if you feel me, let me know, know, know
    Come on now, what you waiting for, for, for?
    My engine's ready to explode, explode, explode
    So start me up and watch me go, go, go, go

    Get you where you wanna go, if you know what I mean
    Got a ride that's smoother than a limousine
    Can you handle the curves? Can you run all the lights?
    If you can, baby boy, then we can go all night
    'Cause I'm zero to sixty in 3.5
    Baby, you got the keys
    Now shut up and drive, drive, drive (drive)
    Shut up and drive, drive, drive (drive)

    'Cause your Maybach ain't got what I got
    Get it, get it, don't stop, it's a sure shot
    And your Ferrari, huh, boy, I'm sorry
    I ain't even worried, so step inside
    And ride, ride, ride, ride
    Ride, ride, ride, ride
    Ride, ride, ride, ride
    Ride, ride, ride, ride
    Ride, ride, ride, ride

    So if you feel me, let me know, know, know
    Come on now, what you waiting for, for, for?
    My engine's ready to explode, explode, explode
    So start me up and watch me go, go, go, go

    Get you where you wanna go, if you know what I mean
    Got a ride that's smoother than a limousine
    Can you handle the curves? Can you run all the lights?
    If you can, baby boy then we can go all night
    'Cause I'm zero to sixty in 3.5
    Baby, you got the keys
    Now shut up and drive, drive, drive (drive)
    Shut up and drive, drive, drive (drive)
    Shut up and drive, drive, drive (drive)
    Shut up and drive, drive, drive (drive)
    Drive, drive, drive, drive
    Drive, drive, drive, drive
    Drive, drive, drive, drive Writer/s: Bernard Sumner, Carl Allen Sturken, Evan A. Rogers, Gillian Lesley Gilbert, Peter Hook, Stephen Paul David Morris

  • Luxxury from La, CaGillian Gilbert, Bernard Sumner, Peter Hook (and Stephen Morris) are credited because they're the band New Order, and this song interpolates (not samples) their 1983 hit "Blue Monday."
