Behind the Wheel Lyrics
[Verse 1]
My little girl, drive anywhere
Do what you want, I don't care
Tonight I'm in the hands of fate
I hand myself over on a plate now
[Verse 2]
Oh, little girl, there are times when I feel
I'd rather not be the one behind the wheel
Come, pull my strings
Watch me move, I do anything, please
[Interlude]
[Verse 3]
Sweet little girl, I prefer
You behind the wheel and me the passenger
Drive, I'm yours to keep
Do what you want, I'm going cheap tonight
[Interlude]
[Outro]
You're behind the wheel tonight
You're behind the wheel tonight
You're behind the wheel tonight
You're behind the wheel tonight
You're behind the wheel tonight
