Motorbike Lyrics
[Intro: Simon Wilcox]
I wonder why nothing catches my eye
Quite like the sight of a girl with a powerful machine between her legs
[Verse 1: Poppy & Simon Wilcox]
Makin' it squeal, makin' it beg
Lookin' so free, so in control
Want to love her, I want to know
What it's like to be between her (Legs)
London, Paris to Berlin
The power she earned, uncharted
Not selfish, self-servin'
Teach me how and I'll learn it (Legs)
[Pre-Chorus: Poppy]
So tell me, can I ride with you?
Baby, can I ride with you?
[Chorus: Poppy & Simon Wilcox]
That girl on a motorbike, goin' where she wants to
Girl on a motorbike, never check the rearview
Girl on a motorbike, no one can confine her
Epitome of freedom, I'm followin' behind her
Girl on a motorbike, goin' where she wants to
Girl on a motorbike, never check the rearview
Girl on a motorbike, no one can confine her
Epitome of freedom, I'm followin' behind her (Legs)
[Verse 2: Poppy & Simon Wilcox]
Makin' it squeal, makin' it beg
Lookin' so free, so in control
Want to love her, I want to know
What it's like to be between her (Legs)
[Pre-Chorus: Poppy]
So tell me, can I ride with you?
Baby, can I ride with you?
[Chorus: Poppy]
That girl on a motorbike, goin' where she wants to
Girl on a motorbike, never check the rearview
Girl on a motorbike, no one can confine her
Epitome of freedom, I'm followin' behind her
Girl on a motorbike, goin' where she wants to
Girl on a motorbike, never check the rearview
Girl on a motorbike, no one can confine her
Epitome of freedom, I'm followin' behind her
[Bridge: Poppy & Simon Wilcox]

(Baby goin' vroom, vroom)
(Legs) Girl on a motorbike, goin' where she wants to
Girl on a motorbike, never check the rearview

Epitome of freedom, I'm followin' behind her

Girl on a motorbike, never check the rearview
Girl on a motorbike, no one can confine her

What did Poppy say about "Motorbike"?

Whenever I see a girl on a motorcycle, I always stare at her a little bit longer than I do a guy. If I see a guy on a motorcycle, I think, ‘Oh, what bike is that?’ If I see a gi...
