The Cars Lyrics

"Drive"

Who's gonna tell you when
It's too late?
Who's gonna tell you things
Aren't so great?

You can't go on thinking
Nothing's wrong, oh oh
Who's gonna drive you home
Tonight?

Who's gonna pick you up
When you fall?
Who's gonna hang it up
When you call?
Who's gonna pay attention
To your dreams?
Yeah, who's gonna plug their ears
When you scream?

You can't go on thinking
Nothing's wrong, oh oh
Who's gonna drive you home
Tonight?

Who's gonna hold you down
When you shake?
Who's gonna come around
When you break?

You can't go on thinking
Nothing's wrong, oh oh
Who's gonna drive you home
Tonight?

You know you can't go on thinking
Nothing's wrong
Who's gonna drive you home
Tonight?

This was the third single from the album and became the band's biggest hit.

When "Drive" was re-issued in 1985, the royalties from its re-issue were donated to the Band Aid Trust. The song was performed by bass player Ben Orr at the Philadelphia event of Live Aid in 1985, and it was used during the London event in a clip about the famine in Africa.

The music video for "Drive" features model and actress Paulina Porizkova. She later became Ric Ocasek's wife.
